WAP, which stands for wireless access point, is a device used for the formation of a wireless network through connection of wireless communication devices. It often connects to a wired network, enabling it to transmit data between wired and wireless devices. A larger, “roaming”-enabled network may be formed by linking Read more…
EDGE, short for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution, and also known as Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a standard of technology in wireless telecommunications introduced in 2003 that increases data transmission rates and improves data transmission reliability in GSM-enabled mobile phones. It is usually classified as a second and three-quarters Read more…
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) DoCoMo, Inc., where “DoCoMo” is shorthand for “Do Communications Over the Mobile Network” as well as a play on “dokomo,” the Japanese word for “everywhere,” is the most prominent wireless telecommunications operator in Japan, with more than 50 million subscribers. In August 1991, it was Read more…
Global Positioning System (GPS), officially named NAVSTAR GPS, is a fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) developed by the United States Department of Defense and accessible as a public good to civilians. It enables a GPS receiver to determine its location, speed, direction of speed, and time, by making Read more…
Centrino is a platform-marketing initiative developed by the company Intel. It is a label used for a set of technologies for the central processing unit (CPU), mainboard chipset and wireless network interface, the usage of which, according to Intel, would provide broad wireless network interoperability, better performance and a longer Read more…
IPTV is an acronym for Internet Protocol television through which internet television services are delivered using the architecture and networking methods of the Internet Protocol Suite over a packet-switched network infrastructure, e.g., the Internet and broadband Internet access networks, instead of being delivered through traditional radio frequency broadcast, satellite signal, Read more…
