Test Solutions for Wireless

“Wireless” is a broad term that encompasses all sorts of technologies and devices that transmit data over the air rather than over wires, including cellular communications, networking between computers with wireless adapters and wireless computer accessories.

Wireless communications travel over the air via electromagnetic waves such as radio frequencies, infrared and satellite. The radio frequency bands are regulated in this spectrum so they don’t get too crowded and ensure that wireless devices and services will operate reliably.

Wireless on its own is typically used to refer to products and services from the cellular telecommunications industry. CTIA, “the Wireless Association”, for example, is comprised of wireless carriers (e.g. Vodafone, EE, 02, etc.), cell phones manufacturers like Samsung & Apple and others in the mobile phone market. Different wireless (cellular) protocols and phone standards include CDMA, GSM, 3G, 4G, and now 5G.

The main benefits of 5G are expected to be that it will be much faster – some are saying as much as 100 times faster. It will also have much lower latency, which means you’ll see very little delay or lag when you do things on your phone or other device. 5G will also have greater capacity, meaning the networks will be able to cope better with many high-demand applications all at once – from connected cars and IoT (Internet of Things) devices to virtual reality experiences and simultaneous HD video streaming.
