Short-region wireless technology refers to the technology that can communicate wirelessly within a smaller diameter region, within a minimum level of one millimeter. The common short-region wireless communication modes are UWB, Wi-Fi, ZigBee and bluetooth.
Wireless communication spans the spectrum from 9 kHz to 300 GHz.
Infrared waves are used for very short distance communication. They cannot penetrate through obstacles. This prevents interference between systems.
Current wireless phones include 3 and 4G networks, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi technologies.
41) Which of the following is the example of a short-range wireless network? Description: Short-range wireless networks have a very short range. This type of network is used for applications running in the local environment. Examples of this network are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Frequency bands
| Frequency | Band | Notes |
|---|
| Annex 1. Non-specific short range devices |
| 6765–6795 kHz | ISM | |
| 13.553-13.567 MHz | ISM | RFID |
| 26.957-27.283 MHz | ISM | Citizens' Band |

Bluetooth is a wireless technology, used for transferring data from one device to another device. The Bluetooth device can connect up to seven devices and it is used in the industry like smartphones, personal computers, and gaming consoles, etc. The IEEE standardized Bluetooth as IEEE 802.15.
Transmission distances range from 10 to 100 meters, depending on power output and environmental characteristics. Sub GHz channels transmission ranges up to 1km. How does Zigbee compensate for possible interference in the 2.4GHz band? Zigbee products have access to 16 separate, 5MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band.
Short range wire- less communication has very exiting features. Examples of short-range wireless communications are Bluetooth, Infrared, Near Field Communication, Ultra- Wide Band, WiFi and Zig- Bee. In our paper we have considered three protocols among them which are WiFi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.
It is a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) technology and is used for exchanging data over smaller distances. A bluetooth network is called piconet and a collection of interconnected piconets is called scatternet.
A sprint is a short running race. In a track and field competition there are generally three different sprint distances: 100m, 200m, and 400m.
Bluetooth uses a radio technology called frequency-hopping spread spectrum. Bluetooth divides transmitted data into packets, and transmits each packet on one of 79 designated Bluetooth channels. Each channel has a bandwidth of 1 MHz.
Its effective range is about up to about a foot or 30 cm. This standard uses the industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) frequency of 13.56 MHz. It transfers data at rates of 106, 212, 424, or 848 kb/s using ASK modulation.
Bluetooth works using short-range radio waves, not an internet connection. This makes Bluetooth ideal for travel, and other occasions in which internet access might not be available. So you can freely listen to music or watch a TV show using Bluetooth headphones, for instance, without data being taken.
Denial of service – Network attack where large amounts of traffic at a specific target, or through purposely interfering with a WLAN networks connectivity (e.g. through RF interference) Configuration problems – Usually an internal issue with hardware/software is not configured with the proper security protocols.
Explanation: The device required for the internet connection is a MODEM. A modem (modulator–demodulator) is a network hardware device that modulates one or more carrier wave signals to encode digital information for transmission.
The four types of wireless networks -- wireless LAN, wireless MAN, wireless PAN and wireless WAN -- differ when it comes to size, range and connectivity requirements.
Connect a PC to your wireless network
- Select the Network or icon in the notification area.
- In the list of networks, choose the network that you want to connect to, and then select Connect.
- Type the security key (often called the password).
- Follow additional instructions if there are any.
The network name or service set identifier (SSID) - Identifies a wireless network. All wireless devices on the network must use the same SSID. Broadcast SSID - An access point can respond to computers sending probe packets with the broadcast SSID.
Development of the Wireless Network StandardAt present, the IEEE 802.11b/g standard is widely accepted throughout the industry and provides the necessary balance of range, network throughput, and support for device mobility to effectively serve most needs of the University community.
Which is the most popular wireless networking technology??
- Wi-Fi, especially popular in home networks and as a wireless hotspot technology.
- Wi-Fi, especially popular in home networks and as a wireless hotspot technology.

The 802.11 standard defines two operating modes: infrastructure mode and ad hoc mode.
- Wireless Network in Infrastructure Mode.
- Communicating With the Access Point.
- Ad Hoc Mode.
- Related: Wifi modes.

Advantages of Wireless CommunicationWireless networks are cheaper to install and maintain. Data is transmitted faster and at a high speed. Reduced maintenance and installation cost compared to other form of networks. Wireless network can be accessed from anywhere, anytime.
Wireless technology plays a key role in today's communications, and new forms of it will become central to emerging technologies including robots, drones, self-driving vehicles and new medical devices over the next five years.
Disadvantages :
- As communication is done through open space, it is less secure.
- Unreliability.
- More open to interference.
- Increased chance of jamming.
- Transmission speed is comparably less.
