Wireless Home Network
Are you interested in wireless home network and how it works? Let's first define what wireless internet is. Wireless internet access doesn't require a wire to connect you to the Internet provider. So there is a wireless connection between you, as user, and your wireless internet provider.
There are four main ways to accomplish such a connection.
1) Mobile wireless internet In addition to GSM voice calls, the mobile network operators offer a mobile wireless internet. Every new mobile phone has an option to connect to the Internet. Also special mobile cards for PC give you possibility to use internet wherever you go are. Mobile internet access or cellular internet providers gives you great flexibility. They have the largest coverage. In every area where there is coverage for your cellular phone, there is also coverage for internet access. The problem with this kind of wireless home network is that is not so cheap, reliable and it could be the problem with quality and speed.
2) WiFi internet service This is a classical way to make your wireless home network. For WiFi internet service you need to use Wi-Fi providers. Lately Wi-Fi providers are having roaming agreements so you, as their client, could have high-speed internet access everywhere you go. Telephone giants SBC and Sprint agreed to share their wireless networks - Wi-Fi hot spots. There are also similar agreements between Sprint and Wayport, AT&T and T-Mobile, AT&T and Wayport, AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
WiFi - wireless fidelity or Wireless Local area network, WLAN refers to the wireless networks which use 802.11 standards (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n). So WiFi uses the WLAN standard for a connection between the wireless access points or broadband wireless routers and wireless clients or computers with Wireless internet card.
3) Internet access using WiMAX solution Other name for WiMAX is wirelessMAN. The biggest difference between WiMAX and WiFi (Wireless LAN) is the range. Wireless LAN is Local Area Network. LAN is a small computer network that covers a home, an office or a building. Wireless MAN is Metropolitan Area Network. In this case your wireless home network extends on much bigger range comparing to WiFi network. The problem with WiMAX is that such providers are still very rare. WiMAX and WiFi are similar technologies. Though WiMAX has much wider range than WiFi, it uses the frequency spectrum which requires licensing. This means that WiMAX provider needs to buy a license from the government.
4) Satellite internet wireless access The best option for your wireless home network in isolated areas, where there are no other ways of broadband internet is the Satellite internet wireless access. This is the most expensive option, both for equipment and for service.
When we talk about equipment, outside you need a satellite dish and transmit-and-receive electronics that are connected with coaxial cable to Indoor Receive Unit (IRU) and Indoor Transmit Unit (ITU) which are connected to your PC through USB connector. Satellite internet providers are the best option for isolated areas. In every inch of the world you could use Satellite internet access if you have the proper equipment. The most significant issue with satellite internet is the price. Satellite internet access is the most expensive among all.
