Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is wireless, and is commonly associated with a telecommunications network whose interconnections between nodes are implemented without the use of wires.[1] Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier and this implementation usually takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network.

Consider creating a video for the project if you're in the wireless group that could be submitted for this award - includes a prize and trip to Florida. We'd love for someone in this group to win the award from Flat Classroom project. it is about how wireless broadband can be used in education. Great idea for a video.

Competition for envisioning the future of wireless broadband - what could you do with high speed wireless broadband. This competition carries a prize and a trip to Florida this next February - application due November 1st, so a quick turn around. My good friend, Louise Maine, shared this with me. It is a great opportunity. Please share it.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices using some wireless distribution method (typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network

Wireless technology has evolved. At first, the goal was to expedite the communications between humans. Now, however, the new wave  of wireless technology focuses on machine-to-machine(M2M) interactions. "The M2M phenomenon is part of the larger drive to create an "Internet of Things" - a global network that not only links computers, tablets and phones but that connects everything from bikes to washing machines to thermostats. Machina Research, a British firm, believes there will be 12.5 billion "smart" connected devices, excluding  phones, PCs and tablets, in the world in 2020, up from 1.3 billion today."

Commotion Wireless offers a new interface for wireless connectivity that does not require and Internet Service Provider(ISP). This is useful to circumnavigate Internet restrictions and to enable mobile phones a greater degree of freedom. To work this technology only requires to WiFi capable devices. Thus, this technology can be readily used by a population that does not possess access to the Internet to share files, media, and other documents to collaborate.

Will new wireless network technology cause a hindering problem that will possibly lead to a decrease in security? The military's high-tech wireless networks may be effected by these new technologies, and Senator Charles Grassley explains.

This article states how wireless technology is used in different parts of the world and different projects that are trying to get more wireless technology in some smaller areas.

"Mobile technology is exactly what the name implies - technology that is portable. Examples of mobile IT devices include: laptop and netbook computers palmtop computers or personal digital assistants mobile phones and 'smart phones' global positioning system (GPS) devices wireless debit/credit card payment terminals Mobile devices can be enabled to use a variety of communications technologies such as: wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) - a type of wireless local area network technology Bluetooth - connects mobile devices wirelessly 'third generation' (3G), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and general packet radio service (GPRS) data services - data networking services for mobile phones dial-up services - data networking services using modems and telephone lines virtual private networks - secure access to a private network It is therefore possible to network the mobile device to a home office or the internet while travelling. Benefits Mobile computing can improve the service you offer your customers. For example, when meeting with customers you could access your customer relationship management system - over the internet - allowing you to update customer details whilst away from the office. Alternatively, you can enable customers to pay for services or goods without having to go to the till. For example, by using a wireless payment terminal diners can pay for their meal without leaving their table. More powerful solutions can link you directly into the office network while working off site, for instance to access your database or accounting systems. For example, you could: set up a new customer's account check prices and stock availability place an order online This leads to great flexibility in working - for example, enabling home working, or working while travelling. Increasingly, networking 'hot spots' are being provided in public areas that allow connection back to the office network or the internet.
