The wireless world.

Broadband wireless will revolutionize people's lives by enabling a high speed connection directly to the key people and information that customers want, whenever they want it. ARMOR Computer Systems believes wireless technologies such as 3G, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX will coexist, working synergistically together to meet unique customer needs. It is likely that no single broadband wireless technology will become dominant or ubiquitous.

 

WiMAX

Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANs) cover a much greater distance than WLANs, connecting buildings to one another over a broader geographic area. The emerging WiMAX technology (IEEE* 802.16 2004 specification today and the proposed IEEE* 802.16e specification in the near future) will further enable mobility and reduce reliance on wired connections.

Wi-Fi

Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have broader range than WPANs, typically confined within office buildings, restaurants, stores, homes, etc. WLANs are gaining in popularity, fueled in part by the availability of devices optimized for wireless computing such as Intel Centrino Mobile Technology.

3G

Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANs) are the broadest range wireless networks. 3G is a WWAN that allows for high speed data transmission and greater voice capacity for mobile users. Next-generation cellular services based on various 3G technologies will significantly improve WWAN communications.
