  18. Global Star LEO Coverage • Global Star is the leading provider of satellite phone service with its low-earth orbit (LEO) constellation of satellites. The image shows the company’s coverage of the earth.

  19. How the Global Positioning System Works • GPS is supported by 24 MEO satellites that are shared worldwide.

  20. Wireless Transmission Media - Radio • Radio transmission uses radio-wave frequencies to send data directly between transmitters and receivers. • Satellite Radio (digital radio) • offers uninterrupted, near CD-quality music that is beamed to your radio from space. XM satellite radio and Sirius have agreed to merge as of mid-2007.

  21. Wireless Transmission Media - Infrared • Infrared light is red light that is not commonly visible to human eyes; common uses are in remote control units for TVs, VCRs, DVDs, CD players. • You can use the digital camera on your cell phone to see if your TV remote control is working. A test to see if your TV remote control is working.

  22. 7.2 Wireless Computer Networks and Internet Access • Short-range wireless networks • Generally have a range of 100 feet or less. • Medium-range wireless networks • Are the familiar wireless local area networks (WLANs). • The most common type of medium-range wireless network is Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). • Wide-area wireless networks • Connect users to each other and to the Internet over geographically dispersed distances.

  23. Wireless Computer Networks and Internet Access

  24. *Short Range Wireless Networks • Bluetooth • Can link up to eight devices within a 30-foot area and transmit up to 2.1 megabits per second. • Ultra-wideband • High-bandwidth wireless technology with transmission speeds in excess of 100 megabits per second. • Near-field Communications • shortest range of any wireless network; designed to be embedded in mobile devices such as cell phones and credit cards.

  25. Short Range Wireless Networks-Bluetooth • Can link up to eight devices within a 30-foot area and transmit up to 2.1 megabits per second.

  26. Short Range Wireless Networks- Ultra-Wideband (UWB) • High-bandwidth wireless technology with transmission speeds in excess of 100 megabits per second. • Ultra-wideband has many uses as you can see at the TimeDomain Web site. • This article discusses the use of UWB in fire-fighting.

  27. Short Range Wireless Networks-Near-Field Communications • Shortest range of any wireless network; designed to be embedded in mobile devices such as cell phones and credit cards. • Near-field communications (NFC) is the enabling technology behind (a) contactless payments with credit cards and (b) the substitution of a cell phone for a credit card (the wave of the future).

  28. The Nokia 6131 phone This video shows the Nokia 6131 phone in action. The Nokia 6131 NFC-enabled phone, which is used in the video

  29. *Medium Range Wireless Networks • Medium-range wireless networks are the familiar wireless local area networks (WLANs). • The most common type of medium-range wireless network is Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). • Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) • Wireless access point • a transmitter with an antenna • Hotspot • A geographical perimeter with in which a wireless access point provides wireless access for users • Wireless network interface card

  30. Diagram of wireless hotspot The irregularity of the hotspot is a result of intervening buildings, trees, etc. Note the protrusions generally follow streets.

  31. Diagram of wireless hotspot – 3D View Wi-Fi hotspots are three-dimensional and thus, roughly spherical, depending on buildings, trees, etc that weaken the signal. This image shows a schematic of a wireless hotspot at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. It is a sphere with a radius of about 100 meters.

  32. Medium Range Wireless Networks- Wireless Mesh Networks • Wireless mesh networks use multiple Wi-Fi access points to create a wide-area network that can be very large. • A series of interconnected local area networks.

  33. Example of a mesh network A mesh network from Meraki and one node

  34. Wide-Area Wireless Networks • Cellular Radio: use radio waves to provide two-way communication • 1st Generation: analog signals and low bandwidth. • 2nd Generation: digital signals for voice and data communication up to 10 Kbps. • 2.5 Generation: digital voice and data communication up to 144 Kbps. • 3rd Generation: digital voice and data communication up to 384 Kbps when device is moving at walking pace; 128 Kbps when moving in car; and 2Mbps when device is stationary. • Wireless Broadband or WiMax: access range up to 31 miles and data-transfer rate up to 75 Mbps.

  38. 7.3 Mobile Computing and Mobile Commerce • Mobile computing • Refers to real-time, wireless connection between a mobile device and other computing environments, such as the Internet and an intranet. • Has two major characteristics that differentiate it from other forms of computing: • Mobility • Users carry a mobile device and can initiate a real-time contact with other systems from wherever they happen to be. • Broad reach • Users can be reached instantly when they carry an open mobile device.

  39. Mobility And Broad Reach • Create four value-added attributes that break the barriers of geography and time: • Ubiquity: mobile device can provide information and communications regardless of user’s location. • Convenience and Instant Connectivity: Internet-enabled mobile device makes it easy and fast to access the Web, intranets, and other mobile devices without booting up a PC or placing a call. • Personalization: information can be customized and sent to individual consumers (e.g., as a short message service). • Localization of products and services: knowing a user’s location helps companies advertise their products and services.

  40. Mobile Commerce • Electronic commerce transactions that are conducted in a wireless environment, especially via the Internet. • The development of Mobile Commerce (m-commerce) is driven by the following factors: • Widespread availability of mobile devices • No need for a PC • The “Cell phone culture” • Declining prices • Bandwidth improvement

  41. Example of Mobile Commerce • Speedpass is a keychain RFID device. • When you buy your gas, you simply “wave” your Speedpass near the reader on the gas pump and your credit card is debited. Car key and the Speedpass

  42. Example of Mobile Commerce

  46. Mobile Commerce Applications - Location-Based Applications • Shopping from Wireless Devices • Online vendors allow customers to shop from wireless devices. • Location-based Advertising • Marketers know the current locations and preferences of mobile users, they can send user-specific advertising messages to wireless devices about nearby shops, malls and restaurants. • Location-based Services • Provide information to customers about local services and conditions via cell phones.

  47. Using Google Earth in Location-based Advertising

  48. Other Mobile Computing - Telemedicine Telemedicine predicted in 1924 and today
