The Success Of Wireless Technology

Wireless technology can be a solution to the digital divide. This is because wireless technology uses the transfer of information over a distance without electrical conductors such as wires. As most countries on the wrong side of the digital divide do not have sufficient access to electricity to increase their communication levels, other countries that have large sattelites etc can feed the countries their wireless connectivity thus resulting in the poorer countries being able to improve their telecommunications.

The growth in available wireless technology has clear social, economic, educational and cultural benefits. Perhaps the best known example of wireless technology is the cellular phone and modems. These instruments use radio waves to enable the operator to make phone calls from many locations world-wide. They can be used anywhere that there is a cellular telephone site to house the equipment that is required to transmit and receive the signal that is used to transfer both voice and data to and from these instruments. This would benefit the poorer, less developed country's communication and security systems. A wireless computer would be very beneficial to these countries as the internet is a great place to learn and research things. Government databases can alao be stored safely and easily there.
