The Perks of Wireless Networking Wireless networking…before anyone can recognize the perks they need to know what it actually is. Wireless networking connects computers in a Local Area or Wide Area network and allows them to communicate, by utilizing Radio Frequency technology. Radio Frequency, or RF, is used to receive and send data between computers via radio waves, with no wires or network cables required. More specifically, there are two modes of technology you can use for wireless computing: DSSS or FHSS. DSSS stands for direct-sequence spread spectrum. DSSS involves the transmission of data through the generation of a bit pattern. FHSS stands for frequency-hopping spectrum. It involves the transmission of varying frequencies on a narrowband carrier. Sound confusing? Not a problem.

Video Professor offers a tutorial that will not only get you started, but will teach you the ins and outs of wireless networking—from the basics to installation and configuration of your very own wireless network.
 If you’re debating whether or not to go wireless, you may want to consider the following benefits:
  • Increased mobility for both laptops and PCs
  • No need to lug around adaptors when you’re on the go
  • Faster data transfer
  • Easy and versatile installation
  • Cheaper than running wires
  • Overcomes the obstacle of walls containing asbestos or anything else that may interrupt the flow of wires
  • Simple scalability
  • Great for setting up a temporary network at meetings, promotional events, or conventions.
  • No need to position yourself near a wall jack
  • Handheld mobile devices can be used to upload to or download from your PC
  • Great for tracking inventory in warehouse and delivery environments
  • Manage servers remotely from virtually anywhere
  • Update your databases in real-time
