Media Of Communication Part 2
Unguided Media
Unguided
media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This
type of communication referred as wireless communication.
We can
divided wireless transmission in :-
1.Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and
1GHz are normally called radio wave.
On radio wave
connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.
- Bluetooth:- It is a wireless network
connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a
short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone,
barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.
- Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is
a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency
like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.
· Wi-Fi is also called wireless
Ethernet. It has connectivity range up to 150 metres.
- Wi-Max:- Wi-max stands for worldwide
interoperability for Microwave Access. It is a type of telecommunication technology
that provides wireless transmission form multi-point links to portable and
fully mobile internet Access. Whose range up to 50km. and speed up to 3mbps.
2.Microwave:- Electromagnetic waves
having frequencies between 1 and 300Ghz are called microwave. Microwaves are
unidirectional. It is very useful when unicast (one to one) communication is
needed.
Ex- Cellular phones, Satellite network and wireless LAN.
3.Infrared waves:- Infrared waves,
with frequencies from 300 GHz to 400 THz. Can be used for short range communication.
It is necessary to place two infrared devices within a few feet for them. It
can work only in the direct “Light of sight”.
Ex- IR Remotes, motion sensors etc.
