ABSTRACT :
AIM :
Wireless networks have significantly impacted the world as far back as World
War II. With the use of wireless networks, information could be sent oversees or behind
enemy lines easily and quickly and was more reliable.
In the modern world the use of firewalls will help with security breaches which
can help to fix security problems in some wireless networks that are more vulnerable.
People and businesses use wireless networks to send and share data quickly
whether it be in a small office building or across the world.

INTRODUCTION
DEFINATION :
The term wireless network may technically be used to refer to any type of
network that is wireless, the term is most commonly use to refer to a telecommunications
network whose interconnections between nodes is implemented without the use of wires,
such as a computer network.
HISTORY :
The beginning of wireless started with Guglielmo Marconi as he began working with
radio waves (History of Wireless). In 1896, Marconi was successful and obtained a patent
and established the Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company, the first radio factory in the
world (History of Wireless).
By 1901 the first signals were being sent across the Atlantic Ocean (History of
Wireless). The military found use for this wireless technology and configured the
wireless signals to send data that was heavily encrypted, making it difficult to be cracked,
which proved to be especially useful during World War II for the Army and Navy
Wireless LAN :
One type of wireless network is a wireless LAN, or Local Area Network. Similar
to other wireless devices, it uses radio instead of wires to transmit data back and forth
between computers on the same network as was the case for ALOHNET.

Wi-Fi
It is a commonly used wireless network in computer systems which enable
connection to the internet or other machines that have Wi-Fi functionalities. Wi-Fi
networks broadcast radio waves that can be picked up by Wi-Fi receivers that are
attached different computers
D-AMPS
It stands for Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Service, is an upgraded version of
AMPS but it is being phased out due to advancement in technology. The newer GSM
networks are replacing the older system.
Since then wireless networks have continued to develop and its uses have
significantly grown. Cellular phones are part of huge wireless network systems. People
use these phones daily to communicate with one another. Sending information over seas
is only possible through wireless network systems using satellites and other signals to
communicate across the world otherwise getting information Emergency services such as
the police department utilize wireless networks to communicate important information
quickly. People and businesses use wireless networks to send and share data quickly
whether it be in a small office building or across the world.
In terms of internet connections, are typically slower than those that are directly
connected through an Ethernet cable. Though the speed is slower, most things will still
move at the same speed except for things like video downloads. Though wireless
technology continues to develop, it is now easier to get networks up and running cheaper
and faster than ever before.

A WiMAX TOWER :
A WiMAX RECIEVER :
The receiver and antenna could be a small box or PCMCIA card, or they could be
built into a laptop the way WiFi access is today.

• A WiMAX tower, similar in concept to a cell-phone tower - A single WiMAX tower can provide coverage to a very large
area -- as big as 3,000 square miles (~8,000 square km).
• A WiMAX receiver - The receiver and antenna could be a small box or PCMCIA card, or they could be built into a
laptop the way WiFi access is today.
A WiMAX tower station can connect directly to the Internet using a high-bandwidth, wired connection (for example, a T3 line). It can also connect to
another WiMAX tower using a line-of-sight, microwave link. This connection to a second tower (often referred to as a backhaul), along with the ability
of a single tower to cover up to 3,000 square miles, is what allows WiMAX to provide coverage to remote rural areas.
What this points out is that WiMAX actually can provide two forms of wireless service:
• There is the non-line-of-sight, WiFi sort of service, where a small antenna on your computer connects to the tower. In this mode, WiMAX uses a lower frequency range -- 2 GHz to 11 GHz (similar to WiFi). Lower-wavelength transmissions are not as easily
disrupted by physical obstructions -- they are better able to diffract, or bend, around obstacles.
• There is line-of-sight service, where a fixed dish antenna points straight at the WiMAX tower from a rooftop or pole. The line-of-sight connection is stronger and more stable, so it's able to send a lot of data with fewer errors. Line-of-sight transmissions use
higher frequencies, with ranges reaching a possible 66 GHz. At higher frequencies, there is less interference and lots more bandwidth.
WiFi-style access will be limited to a 4-to-6 mile radius (perhaps 25 square miles or 65 square km of coverage, which is similar in range to a cell-phone zone). Through the stronger line-of-sight antennas, the WiMAX transmitting station would send data to WiMAX-enabled computers or routers
set up within the transmitter's 30-mile radius (2,800 square miles or 9,300 square km of coverage). This is what allows WiMAX to achieve its maximum range.
