Wireless Internet

What is a Wave?A wave is the way by which electromagnetic energy travels.

The are different types of waves and wireless internet is a radio wave which is a transvers wave.

Wireless internet?

• Internet connection that does not use wires.

• Carries internet traffic

by using broadcast signal

• Instead of internet

travelling through a current, it travels as a radio wave through the air.

Frequency

• Wireless internet always broadcast at specific frequencies starting at 2.4 gigahertz up to 5 gigahertz.

• Every Wi-Fi connection had a different frequency so that they don’t

interfere in any way.

• For wireless internet to work, there needs to be a router and the electronic device has to have a network card.

• Both also have to have a transreciever so that they can send and receive the waves.

• Radio waves travel in all directions. That way anyone can have access to their energy, which is why wireless internets usually have a password.

• As long as you are within the range of the of the signal

you can be wherever you want to and still have internet because direction does not matter.
