Wireless Technology

What is Wireless Technology? How does it Work? Is there really such thing as Long-Range Wireless Technology? These are questions that many people ask on a daily basis, yet most people don’t know how to answer them when they come up in casual conversation or during meetings. In this article, we are going to talk about the different types of wireless technology that exist today and discuss some ways in which this technology can be utilized by you and your company today!

Bluetooth

Nowadays, people are always searching for ways to find the best technology. There are so many new inventions, how does one know what is worth trying? One thing that not many people may know about is Bluetooth. Bluetooth was invented in 1998 and came onto the market in 2001, according to Geek Squad HQ. Bluetooth gets its name from a medieval king and Viking hero who unified Scandinavia (hence Bluetooth). For most part, it provides wireless data transfer (syncing) between mobile devices and any electronic device such as laptops or printers or video game consoles- among other things. This can be done without cords or wires because it sends radio signals in your immediate area at frequencies of 2.4 GHz, according to USA Today.

NFC

Near-field communication (NFC) is short-range wireless technology. When two NFC devices are held near each other, information is exchanged. NFC does not require line-of-sight, meaning that it can penetrate through items such as clothing and plastic. An individual can tap their phone against a reader and have access to the public transportation system in their city without ever having had to download an app or scan an RFID tag. Similarly, businesses can allow customers access into the store if they place their phone against the entrance sensor with no need for exchanging passwords or providing credit card details. This saves time and reduces lines at the register while maintaining security protocols.

Wi-Fi

Wireless Technologies are increasingly used in today’s world as technology becomes more and more complex. One wireless technology is Wi-Fi, which stands for Wireless Fidelity. Wi-Fi offers instant internet connection for devices that are close by. There are many different factors that determine how long Wi-Fi will work, such as the size of the building and what materials it’s made from. When determining distance, these building factors come into play: material thickness, transmitter power, number of wireless network points, etc. But generally speaking, most residential buildings have minimal obstacles so they will be able to receive signals up to 100 meters away.

Wireless Technology

Zigbee

Wireless technology, or Wi-Fi technology, is the way that electronic devices communicate with each other. Zigbee is one form of wireless communication with a range of up to 10 centimetres. Developed in 1998, Zigbee is considered one of the first protocols for low-cost, low-power devices that require data over short distances. Here are some advantages and disadvantages associated with using Zigbee:

Here are two other types of wireless technologies you may not be familiar with: Bluetooth and infrared (IR). Bluetooth is commonly used to link cell phones and computers via earpieces, hands-free sets, and other gadgets. Similar to.

Z wave

Wireless technology is all around us and gives you the ability to communicate in ways never before possible. With it, we can be truly untethered without any worries about cords or wires getting in the way. The Z-Wave wireless communication standard is one that operates on an unlicensed 900 MHz band. As such, there are no radio frequency (RF) restrictions and most importantly interference issues are less likely to arise.

Lutron Clear Connect

Wireless technology is an important component in modern homes and businesses. Lutron’s Clear Connect wireless switch comes with many convenient features, making it the go-to wireless system for thousands of people. Lutron wireless systems use patented wireless technology with a range of up to ten centimetres, or six inches. The cordless system works for switching light sources on and off, dimming them according to your preference, and grouping lights together so you can control all lights from one switch. It also lets you know when you’re saving energy by not using any power at all because every time the switch senses movement in the room, it powers on instantly, so your lights come on faster. The Lutron Clear Connect switches are reliable as well.

Conclusion

The benefit of using wireless technology is that it can be installed quickly, it’s unobtrusive and inconspicuous, and the range is typically from 50-100 ft. Some downsides are that wireless connections don’t penetrate through walls well, plus radio frequency interference limits the number of devices that can use one wireless connection. The type with the range of up to 10 centimetres is Near Field Communication (NFC).

Most people don’t think about NFC when they’re thinking about wireless technology. But near field communication devices have an incredible range and you might be surprised what you can do with this technology.
