                     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 low-power consumption devices
                                                        within a short range (1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters). It
                                                        facilitates communication between different devices when
                                                        they are within a required  range.  The latest version of
                                                        Bluetooth, Bluetooth 5.4 technology provides data transfer
                                                        speed up to 2 Mbps.
                             Bluetooth
                 It provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones,
                 telephones, laptops, printers, personal computers, GPS receivers (Global Positioning System)
                 through 2.4 GHz short range radio frequency bandwidth.
                     PROTOCOL

                 Protocol is a set of rules that governs the communication between computers on a network.
                 Certain network protocols and standards must be followed in order to ensure that your computer
                 can communicate with another computer over a network.
