Course Summary
Technology is constantly advancing, and to keep up with the demands and trends of the industry, wireless networks must be updated to match. The progression of wireless networks was slow moving, but in recent years new advancements have been made at a rapid rate.
Wireless networks is the method by which technology shares data, and is utilised by almost every home and organisation within the modern world. For an engineer, it is crucial to have an in-depth understanding of how these networks work. Networks are multilayered, containing a number of different nodes, frequency bands and channels. There are a vast amount of types of networks too; LAN, WLANS, cellular networks and more. Each one has their own unique characteristics that greatly differentiate its function from others.
These networks will also share many similar components and architectures. There are newly developed technologies, and evolutions of previously existing ones, such as LTE to 5G. To predict future developments or trends, it is important to reflect on previous technologies to gain a full understanding of their concepts and services.
- To review the fundamentals of wireless networks.
- To recognise the different wireless technologies.
