Voice over Internet Protocol. Provides an advanced digital communications network
that bypasses the traditional public switched telephone system and uses the Internet
to transmit voice communication. VoIP enables people to use the Internet as the
transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP
rather than by traditional circuit switched transmissions of the PSTN.
Wireless Communications Service is defined by the Federal Communications
Commission as radio communications that may provide fixed, mobile, radio location,
or satellite communication services to individuals and businesses within their
assigned spectrum block and geographical area. The WCS is in the 2.3 GHz band
from 2,305 to 2,320 MHz and 2,345 to 2,360 MHz.
Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment. The purpose of Directive 2002/96/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is, as a first priority, the
prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the
reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the
disposal of waste. It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all
operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g.
producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those operators directly
involved in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
Wi-Fi (short for wireless fidelity and pronounced 'why-fye') is a term for certain types
of wireless local area network that use specifications in the IEEE 802.11 family. The
term Wi-Fi was created by an organization called the Wi-Fi Alliance, which oversees
tests that certify product interoperability.
WiMAX is an acronym that stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access. WiMAX is a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile
wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL. WiMAX provides
fixed, nomadic, portable, and mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the
need for direct line-of-sight to a base station.
Extensible Markup Language. Language used for defining a set of markers, called
tags, that define the function and hierarchical relationships of the parts of a
document or data set. It is a flexible way to create common information formats and
share both the format and the data, most commonly on the web. It generally similar
to HTML and helps share information in a consistent way. XML is "extensible"
because, unlike HTML, the markup symbols are unlimited and self-defining.
