Overview

Wireless networks are often taken for granted in the modern, interconnected world where instantaneous communication has become routine. From the first rudimentary radio transmissions to the advent of 5G and beyond, wireless networks have come a long way, altering our methods of connection, communication, and collaboration along the way. Wireless Networks' First Steps Into the Light: Visionaries like Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi in the late 19th century paved the path for wireless telegraphy, which allowed for wireless communication. In 1901, when Marconi sent a radio signal over the Atlantic Ocean, he made history by proving that long-distance wireless communication was possible. This development paved the way for subsequent wireless technology improvements. Growth of Mobile Phone Use: The introduction of cellular networks in the 1970s and 1980s marked the beginning of the era of true transformation. The first generation (1G) of mobile telephony enabled call placement anywhere there was cellular coverage through the use of analog audio transmission. The introduction of digital technology to wireless communication by the second generation (2G) made possible not just voice conversations but also text messaging, ushering in the era of the mobile revolution. The Age of Mobile Web Access: The introduction of 3G networks in the late 1990s and early 2000s marked the continuation of this development. This was a monumental change in the emphasis placed on voice over data in conversations. Mobile internet became possible with 3G, but at poor speeds. This breakthrough revolutionized the way individuals got their hands on data by making it possible to do things like utilize email and web browsers on the go.
