Wireless Basics

"Wireless" is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and

receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one

another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange

information with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking

devices operate at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to

use. However, wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in

that there a number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data

encryption.
