Wireless Network

A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and business installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Admin telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.

Examples of wireless networks include cell phone networks, wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless sensor networks, satellite communication networks, and terrestrial microwave networks.

Wireless networks are a key component of small- and medium-sized businesses operating in any industry. They speed up important daily tasks such as sending email from mobile devices, providing customer support while employees are away from their desk, and keeping track of shipments and inventory from the stockroom floor. And in a digital age that constantly seeks to improve work processes, Wi-Fi is getting better every day.

66% of small businesses surveyed would find it extremely difficult to operate without wireless networks. That may seem obvious, but the underlying assumption that wireless networks haven’t changed since their popularization a decade ago is a bit skewed. Take a look at how far the technology has come over the years:
