tiger2k Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i have to write a paper on wireless networking, and i been searching googles for wireless networking in hope to find some examples of wireless devices that will be coming out in the future but all i find is wireless network adaptors :blink: anyone know of any devices besides adaptors that are in development or any site where i might find such info?

MrA Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Here's an idea, a wireless phone. Ok, maybe that didn't make any sense so let me explain. Image a wireless phone that instead of using the phone line, used a wireless network to make phone calls using the internet and voice-over-ip. Maybe it still doesn't make any sense but I'm bad at explaining things. I didn't make thip up by the way, my friend who does wireless deployment at my uni told me this. He mentioned how the wireless access points they have already support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger2k Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 hmm, interesting thats something i could bring into the paper, but is it actually being developed or is that just an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrA Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Not sure. My friend told me about this. It sounds like a good idea and it would be very easy to implement with todays technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolchan Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Siemens already made this. They will release it the end of the year together with Skype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrA Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) http://www1.avaya.com/enterprise/telephone...hone-solutions/ Another idea. How about using wireless networks for health care purposes. Suppose you had a heart monitor which sent data over a wireless network. If that person say, has a heart attack, the network will contact the hospital. It would have many uses apart from heart monitoring. I don't think anything like this exists, but I remember the fourth year systems design students at my uni did something healthy that involved wireless.

MrA Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I decided to use another post for this since it does not relate to the previous one (please don't flame me). Here's something that exists. Wireless lamposts (you may remember a news posting about this). The lampost would send imformation to your car such as road conditions and such. Too bad a single company holds all the patants for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
