History of Wireless Communication Technology :
The birth of a wireless communications system when M.G.Marconi successfully established a radio link between a land-based station and a tugboat in 1901. After that, rapid strides have been made in the realm of wireless communication, enabling live a better life in this digital Era.
After that what height of achievement wireless communication field reached which is following below year by year is given below:
1901 - Marconi successfully transmit wireless data
1902 - First two-way communication was successful across the Atlantic
1909 - Marconi won Nobel price
Radio Transmission :
1914 - First voice radio transmission
The 1920s - Mobile receivers installed in vehicles First Time
What is WIRELESS COMMUNICATION?
The word wireless is a dictionary defined 'having no wires' in a communication system.
A wireless communication system is the fastest growing and also the most vibrant technological area in the communication field. It is a method of information is transmitting from the transmitter to the receiver side that is placed over a limited distance.
In wired communication, the medium is a physical path like co-axial cables and optical fiber links which guides the signal to propagate from one point to other is called as Guided Medium. On the other hand, Wireless communication technology doesn't require any physical medium but propagates the signal through space is called as Unguided Medium.
The question is that if there is no physical medium, even no cables used then how does wireless communication transmit signals? The transmission and reception of signals are accomplished with Antennas.

The wireless network device can utilize specific equipment such as NICs and Routers in place of wires (copper or optical fiber used).
