WirelessWireless Connections that use ‘wireless’ transmission systems to connect the user’s device to the network. Typical examples are 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, and WiMax. connections transmit data via radio waves (electromagnetic waves) and can therefore also be used in remote areas. Examples of wireless broadbandWireless broadband Wireless connections transmit data via radio waves (electromagnetic waves) and can therefore also be used in remote areas. Examples of wireless broadband connections are HiperLAN, WiMAX, satellite connections or mobile networks. connections are HiperLAN, WiMAXWiMAX WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a family of standards for wireless communications. It was designed to use radio transmissions to replace the infamous last mile where the use of laid cables was too costly and impractical. It is one of the possible technologies with which FWA can be implemented., satellite connections or mobile networks.

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a family of standards for wireless communications. It was designed to use radio transmissions to replace the infamous last mile where the use of laid cables was too costly and impractical. It is one of the possible technologies with which FWAFWA Also known as ‘Wireless Local Loop’ (WLL), FWA refers to the use of radio solutions to cover the last mile to property units dispersed in very sparsely populated areas. A main antenna, typically connected to the network via fiber optics, covers an area of varying size where an antenna is mounted on each property unit equipped with an apparatus that transforms the radio signal and enables the connection of the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), the electronic device used as a user-side terminal. can be implemented.

Connections that use ‘wireless’ transmission systems to connect the user’s device to the networkNetwork In computer language, the term network defines a set of hardware and software devices which, when linked together, enable the exchange and sharing of resources, data or information. In a computer network, the devices that generate, route and terminate data are called network nodes.. Typical examples are 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, and WiMax.

An acronym for Wireless Local Area Network, referring to a local area network that connects hosts together using wireless technology. The most frequently used wireless network protocols are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
