Are you looking for a guide to learn the basics of a computer network? This book is for you!

Before the advent off the wireless technology era, the existing communication technologies were primarily powered by wired technology. From the telephone to the fax machine, communication was not possible without a physical connection between the communication device and the source of the power of the device. For instance, there had to be a connection between a wired telephone and the dial board for communication to be possible. Just as with every other wired device, wireless communication has successfully displaced wired communication.

The term wireless communication came into existence in the 19th century. Over the years, wireless communication technology has taken a new dimension. It ranks among the best mediums of information transmission from one device to other devices. This is not unconnected to the ease with which it allows users to communicate with others even if they are operating from a remote area. There are tons of devices that have been adapted for wireless communications. They include GPS, cordless phones, satellite television, Wi-Fi, and some other wireless computer parts. Recently, both the 3 and 4G networks have been included in the list alongside Bluetooth.
