What is Mobile Computing ?
What is Mobile Computing ?
Mobile Computing is a generic term
describing one's ability to use technology
while moving, as opposed to portable
computers, which are only practical for use
while deployed in a stationary
configuration. In other words, a technology
that allows transmission of data via a
computer, without having to be connected
to a fixed physical link is mobile computing.
Early 1970s
First concepts of mobile
computing emerge with early
portable terminals and
"brick" phones with limited
functionality.
Mid 1980s
Introduction of the "Gavilan
SC," the first device labeled
as a "laptop" with a
touchscreen.
Late 1990s - Early
2000s:
Development of the first
"smartphones" with basic
internet access and app
capabilities
2010s-Present

Continued evolution of smartphones


with increasing processing power,
high-quality cameras, improved
connectivity (4G, 5G), and the
rise of "mobile-first"
applications and services.

information between devices over
mobile networks
Mobile Voice
Communication and
Data Communication
Mobile voice communication
refers to the wireless
transmission of voice signals
between users via cellular
networks. It allows individuals to
make phone calls, without
requiring a physical wired
connection. Data communication
refers to the
transmission of digital
networks.

Mobile data communication


involves the wireless
transmission of digital
information, enabling
internet access and
multimedia content delivery.
This can include
browsing websites,
streaming videos, sending
emails, and other internet-
Mobile voice communication
transmits audio via stable
frequency channels, while
mobile data communication
sends digital packets over IP
networks, needing high
bandwidth and stable
connectivity.Mobile voice
transmits audio over
frequencies; data sends
digital packets via IP
networks.
Advantages of Mobile Computing
Mobile computing provides
significant portability,
enabling users to work and
access information from
virtually any location.
It enhances productivity by
facilitating real-time data
access and promotes
collaboration through
messaging and cloud-based
1.Portability
What is the main advantage of
Mobile Computing?

It’s Portability. Mobile computing


provides unparalleled portability,
enabling users to carry lightweight
devices such as smartphones,
tablets, and laptops effortlessly
2. Social Connectivity
Social interactivity in mobile computing refers to the ability
to connect, communicate, and collaborate with others in
real time through mobile devices. This includes features like
instant messaging, video calls, and social media platforms,
which allow users to share ideas, updates, and multimedia
content seamlessly
3. Context Sensibility
Context sensitivity in mobile computing refers to the ability
of devices and applications to adapt their functionality
based on the user's environment, preferences, and
activities. Using sensors like GPS, accelerometers, and
cameras, mobile devices can gather contextual data, such as
location, movement, or ambient conditions, to provide
tailored experiences.
Connectivity
Usage of wireless technologies like Wi-
Fi, Bluetooth, etc. helps to achieve
connectivity in Mobile Technology
Such technologies allow devices like
Smartphones or
Laptops to stay connected to the Internet
without any physical connection.

With that, Mobile Computing also relies on


protocols like TCP/IP or VPN for secure
access and synchronization technologies to
ensure data consistencies across devices.
Commonly Used
Mobile Computing devices are commonly used as they offer portability which
helps us to access information and applications from different parts of the
world.

some major limitations of
Insufficient Bandwidth
Insufficient bandwidth in
mobile computing occurs
when the network can't
handle large amounts of data,
leading to slow internet
speeds, buffering, lag, and
delays. This problem is
common in crowded areas,
with weak signals, or when
many devices are connected
at once, affecting tasks like
