Wireless Communications Technology Landscape

Wireless networks are becoming more pervasive, accelerated by new wireless communications technologies, inexpensive wireless equipment, and broader Internet access availability. These networks are transforming the way people use computers and other personal electronics devices at work, home, and when traveling. There are many wireless communications technologies that can be differentiated by frequency, bandwidth, range, and applications. In this white paper, we survey these technologies, which can be broadly organized into the four categories depicted in Figure 1. These categories range from wireless wide area networks (WWANs), which cover the widest geographic area, to wireless personal area networks (WPANs), which cover less than 10 meters.
