Battery This is the most important accessory for a cell phone. Your cell phone must be kept turned on continuously to make or...
The information age has been revolutionized not just by the power of computers to process data, but also by the power of communication amongst computers. This communication is responsible for the proliferation of computer networks. Sharing of information, sharing of resources (both software and hardware) and sharing of processing load are some of the major objectives of a computer network. One of the recent trends in the computer and communication industries is wireless communication. A wireless network does not use cables, but instead uses radio waves. Such networks enhance the functionality of computing devices by freeing them from the location constraints of a wired network. Although...
Configuring a wireless network involves setting up a wireless router or access point and installing wireless adapters on the networked computers.

The networking standards of Bluetooth will transmit data via low power radio frequency. Bluetooth communicates on a 2.45 GHz frequency. This very band of frequency has been set aside by international agreement for the use of industrial and medical devices. Many devices that you already known and use take advantage of this frequency band. Garage door openers, baby monitors, and the next generation of mobile phones all use this frequency within the ISM band. Ensuring that Bluetooth and the other devices don't interfere with each other is a crucial part of the design process. One of the ways Bluetooth will avoid interfering with other electronic devices is by sending out weak signals of around 1 mw. In...
