Introduction
A network is a
computer system of devices
interconnect (computers, servers,
etc.) that communicate
ed
each other to share resources, with
data,
smartphones
applications. Networks can and
be
,
categorized into wired and wireless
technologies based on how data is
transmitted. Wired and wireless
technologies are fundamental
components of modern computer
networks, each offering distinct
advantages and disadvantages.
Types of Networks
Wireless
Technologi
es
wireless networks transmit data using
electromagnetic waves, allowing
devices to connect without physical
cables.
This technology offers greater
mobility and ease of installation,
making it suitable for homes, cafes,
and temporary setups.
Wireless networks, however, generally
provide lower speeds and are more
vulnerable to security breaches
Wireless Technologies
Types Wifi
A widely used wireless local area
network ( W L A N ) technology that
allows devices to connect to the
internet and communicate with
each other. Wi-Fi standards (such
as IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax)
support varying speeds and
ranges, making it suitable for
homes, offices, and public
Bluetooth hotspots.

Conclusion
Wireless technology has transformed connectivity by
providing flexibility and mobility, allowing access to
networks from almost anywhere. Technologies like Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, and 5G have improved speed and reliability.
However, challenges such as security risks, signal
interference, and limited range persist.
Ongoing advancements in security and network
management are addressing these issues. Overall,
wireless technology is essential to modern networks,
and its importance will continue to increase as it
evolves.
