Plainly speaking, wireless communication is a transfer of information without any physical connection between two or more points. Because of this absence of any “physical infrastructure”, wireless communication has certain advantages. This would often include collapsing distance or space. Since there is no need for physical connections like cable or fibre, communications is not limited to an area. Case in point, are your smartphones. Without wireless communication technologies like in most landline phones, you’d be stuck at home, and the convenience of carrying a device anywhere would be impossible. Wireless communications services can also be seen in Internet technologies such as Wi-Fi.
With no network cables hampering movement, you can now connect with almost anyone, anywhere anytime. On-demand services is thus possible with wireless communication systems. Improvements can also be seen in speed. Notice how wireless internet connectivity is far more efficient than dial-up.
Geographic distance is no longer a problem as well. You can find yourself in the middle of the desert or in some remote, tropical rainforest and still manage to connect to the Internet or make important calls thanks to technologies like satellite broadband and satellite communications trailers.
This mobility and convenience offered by wireless communications present opportunities to improve various industries and sectors of society. In rural regions, online education is now possible. Educators no longer need to travel to far-flung areas to teach their lessons thanks to live streaming of their educational modules. Miners in the outback can rely on satellite phones to call their loved ones, and thus, help improve their general welfare by keeping them in touch with the people who mean the most to them. Costs are dramatically reduced in wireless communications because there is no longer any need to build expensive terrestrial infrastructure like fibre or cables.
