1.2. Wireless Network 802.11
Since the beginning wires were the main restriction of every control mechanism.
Due to this limitation human factor at specified time and place to control every wired
device, or expensive and complicated wired network is needed. But what if we were able
ing many devices spread over a large
area without necessity of additional equipment.
To achieve this goal wireless networks were created. As development of wireless
networks and wireless networking from the very beginning goes hand in hand we can say
that
The year was 1888, Hamburg. Here German physicist named Heinrich Rudolf Herz
produced first radio wave ever. It took only 6 years to introduce radio technology to
everyday use. By the 1984 radio waves became a way of communication. Herz opened the
way for radio, television, and radar with discovery of electromagnetic waves. But the title
who expanded the radius of radio wave sending to two miles. In the next step Marconi
could send signal 9 miles across the Bristol Channel and eventually expanded the radius to
31 miles across the English Channel to France. By 1901 the communication area stopped
becoming a boundary. Marconi was able to send signals across the entire Atlantic Ocean.
The biggest step for the radio wave was the World War II when for the first time
radio data transmission was used. The United States was the first party which managed to
control sending information via radio waves. Many people believe that this application
largely contributed to the final victory. After the WWII in 1971 a group of researchers
under the lead of Norman Abramson from the University of Hawaii created the first
packet-
first official WLAN(wireless local area network) with the application of star topology
created ever. In the 1972 the connection between ALOHAnet and Arpanet on the mainland
was achieved. The length of this connect was crucial in the telecommunications between
computers.
The first types of WLAN technology used and unlicensed band (902-928 MHz),
which later became crowded with interface from small appliances and industrial
machinery. A spread spectrum was used to minimize this interference which operated at
500 kilobits per second. The second generation of WLAN technology was operating at
