Electronic Components Used In Wireless Technology
Wireless technology has revolutionized how we interact in almost every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Reliable wireless technology is a crucial aspect of IoT or Internet of Things. Many of these IoT applications for wireless technology can be found in our smart devices, homes, and commercial businesses.
How Wireless Technology Improves Our Lives
Wireless technologies continue to play a significant role in our modern world. These technological advancements have increased both our ability to communicate and interact with our devices in innovative new ways. Listed below are some of the ways that wireless technology has improved our day-to-day lives:
- Communications: The oldest application that wireless technology was used for was the transmission of radio signals. Today we use wireless technology to communicate with others through our phones, computers, and other smart devices. Thanks to these advances we can stay connected through email, phone calls, video chat, and teleconferencing
- Convenience: Wireless technology significantly improves speed and lessens the amount of effort it takes for a user to perform tasks. The convenience of wireless technology makes simple household tasks like activating and monitoring a home security system effortless. A business can benefit from wireless technology, saving time and energy by allowing employees to work remotely, run diagnostics from afar, and maintain flexible employee and client communications.
- Mobility: Installing and maintaining a network of cables and wires is costly, time consuming, and stationary. Wireless technology allows us the freedom to take our devices and services anywhere a sufficient wireless signal is available. Wireless connectivity improves user flexibility allowing equipment and service to be set-up in more remote locations.
- Safety: Wireless technology offers increased security and safety for residential and commercial services and devices. Most home security systems offer wireless options that allow individuals to remotely monitor their home or business. Security personnel and first responders can also be alerted immediately using wireless technology, in the event of an emergency.
Wireless remote control allows employees, operating in or around hazardous environments, to use their equipment from a safer distance, avoiding potentially dangerous working conditions.
Types of Wireless Technologies
Growing trends and industry standards have allowed wireless technologies to advance at an exponential rate, expanding the possible applications to an even wider market. We’ve seen advancements in the fields of communication, entertainment, exploration, economics, and medicine. For instance, it was wireless technology that allowed for international economies and some job markets to thrive during 2020’s global COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the more common wireless technologies that are in use today are the following:
- Radio: As the oldest form of wireless technology, radio is still widely utilized to this day. Although it is primarily used for entertainment, radios are still used quite extensively in communications of first responders and military personnel.
- Satellite: Orbiting our globe at 7,000 miles per hour, satellites are the chief technology that keeps our world connected, entertained, and informed. Satellites bounce radio, microwave, and other signals back and forth with the earth at near-instantaneous rates.
- Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity): The primary wireless technology used in homes and businesses is Wi-Fi. Although it doesn’t have the broader range of radio and satellite signals, Wi-Fi is still the primary way that most individuals connect their IoT (Internet of Things) devices, like their computers and smart phones, to the internet.
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth technology has the most limited range of the technologies on this list. It is chiefly designed to work in conjunction with other devices like WiFi routers or personal smart phones. It is generally used with earpieces to allow users to have hands-free conversations on their phones and some fitness, monitoring and/or medical wearable type devices.
