WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT
Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of wires or even cables. It encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, wireless networking , cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and. Other examples of wireless technology include GPS units, garage door openers and or garage doors, wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, satellite teleOUR VISION and cordless telephones.
New wireless broadband technologies are bringing the promise of high bandwidth everywhere; to the home and office, onto the street and on the road. Over the next few years, high-speed wireless networks composed of an array of underlying technologies, using converged devices will change the broadband landscape. Imagine your car making a self-diagnostic test onto itself and then making an appointment with your favorite service station long before it breaks down. These are some of the innovations that await you in the future when wires that used to connect computers will be a thing of the past.
WHY THE NEEDS FOR ‘WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS’
To increase the efficiency and flexibility of their computer network by remove the restrictions of being attached to expensive and messy wires and cables, inside and outside of the office. as wireless technology carries the capability of wired networks to spaces that cables cannot.
On top of that, It also complements national agenda in terms of achieving national broadband initiative that aims for higher usage and penetration of broadband Internet throughout the country be it via wired or wireless Internet connection.
OTHER TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
Communication Networks & Solutions Centre
The Communication Networks & Solutions Centre aims to bring to realisation the OUR VISION of “Ubiquitous Network Society” in Malaysia and the whole world. The centre conducts research in areas of networking, mobile computing infrastructure and solutions, with an emphasis on designing, implementing, and evaluating network systems, protocols, and applications.
We are also responsible for formulating an R&D strategy for providing a full-fledged ubiquitous networks and for preparing the necessary architecture and infrastructure to bring this to reality. We are divided into 4 research areas:
Ubiquitous Communications
Establishing practical ubiquitous networks that permit the use of a wide range of equipment to connect with high-quality networks and to exchange information with anybody, anywhere, at any time and with any type of device.
Fixed Mobile Convergence
Develop and define next generation architecture that combines mobile communications with WiFi/WiMax and fixed communication networks.
Next Generation Internet
Develop next-generation Internet platform, applications and solutions, which will serve as the networking infrastructure in the coming era including Mobile IPv6.
Applications and Solutions
Identify future applications, services and solutions that cover the multimedia and broadcasting technologies.
