Wireless Services
Wireless services have become highly in-demand with the changes in the lifestyles of the people. Such services have played an increasing role in helping people get things done and in bridging them together in what has come to be known as a virtual community.
Wireless technology is able to function by using radio waves that range from 3 KHz to as much as 300GHz. Usage of such waves must be licensed by the government. More advanced technological uses of such waves are limited and, as such, can only be utilized after winning in an auction.
An example of a wireless service is wireless Internet service. This service has been attractive for people who need to do office work even when they are in transit. This is made possible by technological devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and laptops.
At present, a new wireless service has been developed to provide enhanced voice and video services. This is called third generation wireless. Such a service supports real-time video and mobile Internet access.
In the near future, a fourth generation wireless service can be expected. This is currently being developed in Japan and is capable of speeding up data rates to up to 20Mbps. Phones with 4G capability will soon be released in the United States.
Another form of wireless service is wireless telecommunications. This can be availed of by enrolling in a wireless phone plan or getting prepaid plans. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the suitability of either plan ultimately depends on the needs and capability of the user. Among the things that can ultimately affect the applicability of a prepaid or postpaid plan are frequency of usage, types of usage, and preferred phone services.
To facilitate wireless telecommunications, a mobile network operator is necessary. They are licensed providers of wireless phone services. They buy radio spectrum licenses from the government to be able to set up their cell facilities.

Wireless Internet Services
You have already paid your bills. You have ordered r your next meal. You have checked how much money you still have at the bank. You have discovered that your high school best friend is now doing well in some country in Europe. You have already ordered some flowers for your mother’s birthday this week. You have already confirmed your tasks for next week with your boss who is currently in Singapore. You also have read the latest news. You have done all this through the Internet.
Interestingly, the Internet has been one of the major avenues for getting, receiving, sharing and uploading information. Information is considered as one of the basic commodities to man at present.
However, you can’t stand your current connection to the World Wide Web. Your connection takes you a lot of time to download information that you need for your meeting. You find it hard to stay by your computer watching the information transferred to your computer slowly.
Thanks to innovations in the world of the Information Superhighway, there are wireless Internet services available for consumers. Companies and businesses are marketing and offering wireless Internet services for people who are interested in using it. Information is available on the Web.
The benefits of having wireless Internet services is that you can be very flexible. As long as there are hot spots, or places where your computer can receive a signal, you can access the Internet. You also don’t have to wait for your computer to establish a connection to the server.
Some companies claim that wireless Internet services are cheaper than the usual way of getting connected in the Internet. They claim that with wireless services, a customer only needs to pay the service fee. This is probably be true, because compared to the other means of connecting in the Internet, you have to pay for the services, as well as the phone line, and the cable you use to get connected.

Out on the Road Now We Can Hook Our Laptops to High-speed, Mobile, Wireless Broadband Internet
I don’t know much about technology. It’s just not my field of expertise; I’m a creative writer. However, as I work for an Internet company I have come to realize the powerful ideas that my fellow office-mates/nerds (cool nerds: E.g. Napoleon Dynamite) come up with, and how these ideas are changing our world for the better. The latest idea that has come to fruition, to me, seems like an amazing accomplishment for all of humanity to partake in, even writers. Mobile, wireless, broadband Internet means we can now go on the Internet when we are on the move, or away from our homes and offices.
If you want to know more about the technology behind wireless Internet, check out http://www.theunwired.net/, or http://www.iburst.com.au. This is really cool stuff. Picture a few of these scenarios
You are a creative person, writer/graphic artist who doesn’t like to work indoors. You need the fresh air blowing in your face, sun warming your skin, to get the imagination flowing. You feel like sitting in the park but would also like to have access to the Internet to do research, as well as add to your blog or website portfolio. Stick one of these magic laptop modems with its own antenna into your computer and as long as there’s coverage you’re on your way to creating your life’s work.
What if you’re into big business, a company executive, or need to communicate with your colleagues regularly? Now you’re on the road, in a taxi, going very quickly down the highway. There’s no need for this to be ‘down time’ for you anymore. You can email, send files, and if you’re especially techno-savvy, you can hook up a webcam and voice-over IP and have meetings ‘face to face’ while on the go. Moving from office to office, and staying in hotel rooms far from home makes no difference, as you are always able to connect. Talk about limiting loss of production due to time and space constraints!
Imagine you are a university student who has to move house a lot due to short leases and sometimes-unfriendly relations with roommates. You no longer will need to be concerned with disconnection and reconnection hassles, especially the added fees. As this technology also caters for individuals, you won’t have to worry about your buddies downloading heaps of your cash with the usual wireless network setups in houses by telling you that you have to pay an ‘equal’ share of their activity. However, there are no limits to how many connections are in one house, so all your friends or family can have their own.
There are also desktop versions if you are in an area that doesn’t have access to ADSL, or you don’t want to use a phone line to access the Web. The mobile version of iBurst is just like a normal wireless system except it uses a system of base stations that transmit the network to the wireless modems. So, if you’re at school, work, the library, airport, business meeting, or even the beach (if it is under coverage) you can surf the web (after the waves) and send important emails. There are a few issues with places like parking lots and subways where the radio frequency may sometimes be unable to pierce through deep layers of concrete, or where towers are too far apart so the connection drops in and out. I expect my nerd friends will solve these problems and any others that arise as the technology develops further. The nerds can do it all. Check out Napoleon Dynamite’s dance moves: www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/napoleon. Now all we have to do is wait for them to expand from their tunnel-vision focus on technology, to developing the means to creating a utopian society. I don’t know, maybe that’s where us creative folk come into play?
