Description

hot spots

- designated locations where wi-fi access points are publically available IEEE 802.11n (wireless N)

- newest standard for wireless networking wireless MAN (WMAN)

- metropolitan area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data wireless WAN (WWAN)

- wide area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data smartphones

- offer more advanced computing ability and connectivity than basic cell phones 3G

- brings wireless broadband to mobile phones streaming

- a method of sending audio and video files over the internet in such a way that the user can view the file while it is being transferred satellite

- space station that orbits the earth receiving and transmitting signals from earthbased stations over a wide area radio frequency identification (RFID)

- uses electronic tags and labels to identify objects wirelessly over short distances RFID tags

- electronic identification device that is made up of a chip and antenna

RFID reader

- transmitter/receiver that reads the contents of RFID tags in the area passive RFID tags

- do not have a power source active RFID tags

- have their own transmitter and a power source (typically a battery) semi-passive RFID tags

- use a battery to run the microchip's circuitry, but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader asset tracking

- occurs when a company places active or semi-passive RFID tags on expensive products or assets to gather data on the items' location with little or no manual intervention RFID accelerometer

- a device that measures the acceleration of an item and is used to track truck speeds or taxi cab speeds chipless RFID tags

- use plastic or conductive polymers instead of silicon-based microchips, allowing them to be washed or exposed to water without damaging the chip...
