WiMax is the IEEE standard enabling Metropolitan Area Networks. This tutorial explores the promise of WiMax and discusses how WiMax would be complementing other technologies like WiFi in our near wireless future.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a method of remotely storing and retrieving data using devices called RFID tags. Take a closer look at how RFID has the potential to seamlessly invade our daily lives.

Understand the need for going wireless, the work efficiency it brings in and the business value it unlocks. Put wireless into perspective. Understand what all is there to wireless. Understand WWAN, WPAN and WLAN.

Get up and take a look behind your PC... chances are that you will find a cluttered mess of wires. Think about a short range, multiple node, wireless network which replaces these wires. Think Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). Think Bluetooth.

Wireless LAN works to extend the reach of existing wired networks through radio waves to entire organization settings. Also known as Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11 is the set of standards for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN).

ZigBee is one of the newest technologies enabling Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN). See how the specification characterized by low data rates and very low power consumption is revolutionising home networking.

The article discusses the affect the impact of RFID on the environement, how it affects processes like recycling, corporate social responsibility, voices of concerned groups and future challenges.
