Chapter 7, Problem 4RQ
Explanation of Solution
Bluetooth
- Bluetooth devices are used to transmit low power wireless data with devices in small range distance at the range of 10cm (Centimeter) to 30m (Meter).
- Bluetooth devices contains higher transfer rate at the range of 722 kbps (Kilobits per second).
- It is low-cost and easy to install, simple and convenient to use, and many applications can be transmitted using the device.
- The Bluetooth is used to transmit between music players such as mobile phones to headsets.
- It will connect one computer with another computer.
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):
- It has third generation wireless access connection. In this, the data is transmitted to or from the node points within the radius range.
- The radius of the network ranges up to meters. The node point is connected to a wired network and shares the data with wireless users.
- It is connected through Local Area Network (LANs), and Wide Area Network (WANs).
WiMAX:
WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.
- WiMAX is the forthcoming new technology standard for long distance wireless communications.
- The WiMAX technology is designed to join the Wi-Fi and DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)...
