Document Summary

Wireless technologies includes both wireless devices and smartphones. Wireless devices wireless devices help make productive use of time. Application protocol (wap) is the standard that enables wireless devices to access the internet. Previously had micro browsers but now have full-function browsers. They are small to carry and have sufficient computing power. However, they can be used to pass on confidential information. Wireless transmission media broadcasts media without wires over the air or in space such as microwave, satellite, radio and infrared: microwave transmission used for high-volume, long-distance, line-of-sight communication. They have high bandwidth and relatively inexpensive but must have unobstructed line of sight: satellite satellite transmission make use of communication satellites. Geostationary (geo), medium earth orbit (meo), and low earth orbit (leo). They work with lines of sight as well but the footprint is enormous since the higher the satellite, the larger the footprint.
