Wireless

''Wireless'' was an old-fashioned term for a radio receiver, referring to its use as a wireless telegraph. The term is widely used to describe modern wireless connections such as wireless broadband internet access internet. ==History== The founding principles and inventions of wireless technology can be found in the lectures and patent record of the electrical engineering Nikola Tesla and in his 1916 deposition on the history of wireless and radio technology. ''For more on the history of radio transmission, please see Radio#Invention_and_history.'' ==Modern usage== In modern usage, the term refers to communication without cables or cords, chiefly using radio frequency and infrared waves. Common uses include the various communications defined by the IrDA and the wireless networking of computers. Low-powered radio waves, such as those used in networking to transmit data between devices, are often unregulated. High powered transmission sources usually require government license to broadcast on a specific wavelength. The wireless platform has historically carried voice and has grown into a large industry, carrying many thousands of broadcasts around the world. ==See also== * Bluetooth * Data corruption * Dedicated Short Range Communications * Federal Communications Commission * HIPERLAN * HIPERMAN * IrDA * Radio * Ultra Wideband * WiFi * WiMAX * Wireless campus * Wireless energy transfer * Wireless networking * Wireless Security ==External links== * [http://www.maxstream.net/spotlight/find-rf-solution/t4#at4 Wireless Device Comparison] - Great for comparing such technology as Bluetooth, Cellular and Wi-Fi. * [http://www.moonblinkwifi.com/dbm_to_watt_conversion.cfm dBm to Watt Conversion Calculator] - Very useful in designing Wireless Links. * [http://www.radiolabs.com/Articles/wifi-antenna.html Selecting a Wireless Antenna] * [http://bengross.com/wireless.html Wireless Networking] * [http://www.wireless-warrior.org Wireless Warrior] * [http://www.itprc.com/wireless.htm ITPRC Wireless Resource Center] * [http://mark.cabiling.free.fr/mobilemesh Mobile Mesh Networking] * [http://www.wacklepedia.com/pdahotspots/pda_hotspots.htm PDA Hotspots] - List of websites that adjust to the small wireless PDA screen * [http://rfdesign.com/mag/radio_invented_radio/ Who Invented Radio?] * [http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2003/10/10/1/ Surfin': Who Invented Radio?] * [http://www.airhive.net/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=37 Wireless search engine categories] * [http://www.airhive.net/modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=list_content&eid=3 Wireless term dictionary] * [http://www.laptopical.com/wi-phishing.html Wi-phishing and Wireless laptops] ==Suggested reading== ''Nikola Tesla On His Work With Alternating Currents And Their Application to Wireless Telegraphy, Telephony, and Transmission of Energy'', Anderson, Leland, ed., 1992.
