An Introduction To Wireless Broadband

By: Ray Lam

Wireless broadband is a general term used for the technology that is able to gain access to the internet wirelessly, and at high bandwidth speeds. Wireless broadband is available on virtually any digital device, so long as it has the proper connectivity hardware. Such hardware can easily be attached to most PDAs and laptop computers.

One of the most popular and well known wireless technology standards is Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), which allows users to access the internet over a wireless Local Area Network. The speed and range of Wi-Fi, however, is severely limited. There is another wireless connectivity standard, called WiMAX, which is considerably more advanced.

In a Wireless network (WiFi) the computers within it can communicate with each other, and a password is set to prevent outside connection and interference. Firewalls are essential, and fortunately they are standard with most wireless routers. A network card fitted to every computer within the network is necessary too, and again, they're usually standard in most newer PC's and laptops. If one PC in your house doesn't have a network card, it can still be connected to the WiFi network by means of cables.

Although WiMAX are networks are available in several major metropolitan areas in the US, base stations are very expensive to build, and aren't cost effective in less densely populated areas. Because of this limitation, WiMAX technology is not yet available in most non-urban regions.

Wireless broadband can be either paid for monthly along with your standard tariff, or used on a pay-as-you-go basis for periods of up to an hour. It all depends on how much you travel, and how often you would use the service. Wireless broadband and wireless networking are slowly becoming more widely available as more providers catch onto the idea.
