Wireless Networks: Past, Present, and Future

Less than a decade ago, the telecom operators in the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan were upgrading their existing networks to high-speed 3G technologies. Now the world telecommunications industry is about the switching to the next-generation super-fast 4G technologies.

In terms of architecture, it has been very challenging to provide platform, and ability to render service with high availability from the providers of the first generation (1G) networks to 4G

The wireless mobile industry is still a growing industry, with revenues continuing to increase over the next few years. Wind Mobile’s unlimited plans have also contributed to the increase per subscriber usage of wireless. Features and functionality redefined by new technology i.e. new

Wireless is the term used to describe any computer network where there is no physical wired connection between sender and receiver, but rather the network is connected by radio waves and or microwaves to maintain communications (Boyds, 2016). Wireless and mobile technologies continue to have a major impact on the global business environment and can be roughly categorized into mobile client devices for interactivity and communications infrastructure. Wireless technology is technology that uses radio waves to transmit and receive data, such as cell phones. It is used more than ever today for data transmission. Mobile

One of the most heavily advertised areas of technology in the United States currently is 4G technology. Every commercial and advertisement promises fast speeds, great coverage, and exceptional service altogether. However, the competition proves to be extreme and unbalanced. Since its introduction on Sprint’s network, 4G, or fourth generation cellular technology, has revolutionized both the telecommunication arena while spilling into other technological fields. There is no end in sight for the relentless competition of expanding 4G technologies as coverage and network speeds continue to increase. Currently, 4G technology is offered by all major telecommunication carriers in the United States: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint. However, the term “4G” has been loosely used. The best example of this can be associated with Sprint.

A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business).Installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless 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.

Some 310 billion mobile app downloads are expected by Q1/2016, and 70% of smartphones will be 802.11acready by Q2/2015. And let’s not forget about tablets – they consume 3.4-times more traffic compared to a smartphone on average. Networks must contend with this higher demand. Enterprises have also grown more reliant on higher bandwidth, latency-sensitive applications. For example, virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) are characterized by bursty, delay-sensitive traffic because processing occurs in the data center instead of locally. HD video-capable mobile devices are proliferating. And users increasingly rely on them for fast and efficient mobile telepresence. Collaborative programs like Microsoft Lync, Apple FaceTime, WebEx and Citrix GoToMeeting create two-way video traffic across the network. The use of podcasting and streaming has also skyrocketed. It is therefore only natural to see a huge increase in the consumption of multimedia on mobile devices in the residence hall. Due to the pervasiveness of wireless in some environments, the smart classroom has now become virtualized, which allows its capabilities to be delivered anywhere there is capacity to receive it. The 80/20 rule for download and upload direction no longer exists. New app behavior has completely transformed traffic patterns. For example, smartphones synchronize all photos to cloud-based storage when a user walks into a building and connects to a Wi-Fi

Cellular Broadband is used to access Internet on mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets and mobile dongles. There are currently three different technologies used to access the Internet from a mobile device, these include 2G, 3G and the current 4G. Cellular broadband is a subscription-based service, which usually comes as part of your mobile tariff from your provider. However, you can get separate tariffs just for cellular broadband, these are used in laptops and tablets to provide Internet access on the move. ITU Telecom World research indicates that 90% of the world is covered by a 2G signal; where as 45% of the world has a 3G signal (www.itu.int). This shows that there is a high demand for this service, and it is a very popular option to access Internet while bring mobile. This type of service is something that could be incorporated within our health authority network, for example a 4G connection can be used as a backup internet backbone as well as employees using the service to access

These days, there are several types of wireless devices are used for communication purpose. Smart phone and Networks are the part of our every day life.

In this modern era, wireless communication has become a requisite need like water and electricity which is part of our personal as well as our professional life. When we talk about wireless communication, the first word which comes to our mind is Wi-Fi. It uses 2.4-5 GHz RF (radio frequency) to deliver internet access around a wide area. As more and more users are connected to the network, the rate of data transfer gets reduced. So when more people access wireless internet, airwaves gets clogged and it makes difficult to latch onto a reliable signal. Transmission of data is done using radio waves which is just one part of spectrum. We are totally dependent upon this very prevalent service. But it has also many

The world has come a long way when it comes to the speed at which one can browse the internet. Just as the new millennium came about, the world was introduced to broadband (or high-speed internet). Compared to dial-up, broadband operated at a rate that was 10 to 20 times faster than dial-up. Nowadays, most people cannot imagine going back to dial-up speeds and sometimes refer to use of the technology as “caveman days”. With that said, dial-up is still around as some have remained loyalty to the service. But with speeds around the world as high as 17Mb, dial-up does not cut it if an individual or company wants to keep up with the world, especially from a business aspect. The pros of being connected through broadband far outweigh the cons of dealing with dial-up.

Judging by the way mobile network outages are covered in the media and social media nowadays, the mobile network already seems to be more vulnerable to sudden, large-scale outages than it used to be. Smartphone users today are much more dependent on their devices than they were to their simpler phones five or ten years ago. As a result, mobile network outages and degradations create a great deal more pain and frustration today

The mid-1990s was a time of internet users dialing into their internet service providers from a computer plugged into a house or business phone line to work, play games, search the internet, join chatrooms, or send email. With the introduction of mobile devices, such as the iPhone, Google phones, notebooks, and tablets, users are no longer restricted to connecting through an immobile computer. Today’s users have access to the internet almost anywhere in the world, even while driving a car or sitting in a park. Additionally, apps are now available to simplify almost anything (such as assisting drivers navigate traffic jams or make purchases online). According to StatCounter over 50 percent of internet connections in the first quarter of 2017 connected to the internet via a mobile device.

As 3G technologies are broader in use when compared to 4G are in limit [2]. The major difference between two is in the existence of yielding technologies. Many technologies EV-DO, HSPA and WCDMA these drop under 3G network. Whereas, many mobile phone companies are intelligent to dup their technologies as 4G; such as WiMax, LTE, and UMB. But, none of these technologies gives detailed description set forth by the 4G network standard, so they are often mentioned as Pre-4G or 3.9G. Here, are the some important points which are compared between two efficient technologies.
