WIRELESS NETWORKING TECHNOLOGY

                 In a wireless networking technology, no wires or physical media is used for connecting computers. It
                 uses electromagnetic waves like infrared, microwave and radio waves for transmission of the data.
                 The choice of the technology depends on the distance and speed of transmission. There are two types

                 of wireless technologies named Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

                      Wi-Fi

                 Wi–Fi   is  the most popular wireless communication technology used for homes, private business
                 LANs and public hotspots. A Wi-Fi enabled device such as a PC, video game console, mobile phones
                 or MP3 player can connect to the Internet when it comes within the range of a wireless network. Wi-Fi
                 allows us to deploy local area networks without wires thus reduces the cost of the network expansion.

                      Bluetooth

                 Bluetooth is a technology that enables wireless communication between a low-power consumption
                 devices within a short range (1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters). It facilitate for different devices to
                 communicate with each other when they are in a specified range. The latest version of bluetooth,

                 Bluetooth 5.0 technology provides data transfer speed up to 2 Mbps.
