...The wireless industry has grown over the years at an exponential rate to keep pace with the rapidly increasing demand for information at our fingertips. Wireless relates to a communications, monitoring or control system in which electromagnetic waves carry a signal through atmospheric space rather than along a wire. Most wireless systems use radio frequency or infrared waves. RF or radio frequency includes any of the electromagnetic wave frequencies that lie in the range extending from 3 kHz to about 300 GHz which include the frequencies used for radio and television transmission. Infrared Waves (IR) includes frequencies from 3 THz to 430 THz (Ahmadi, 2010). Mobile communications was mainly applied to military and public safety services until the end of World War II, but after the war it began to be applied to public telephone services. The first public mobile phone service was the Mobile Telephone System or MTS which was introduced in the United States in 1946. In this system, operation was simplex and call placement was handled by a manual operation. The MTS was then followed by the development of a full duplex automatic switching system, the improved mobile telephone system or IMTS (Haag, 2010). The IMTS was first introduced in 1969 using a 450 MHz band. Although it was widely known in the US as a standard mobile phone system, it was not able to cope with rapidly increasing demand for two reasons: it was a large-zone system and its assigned bandwidth was not enough...

...CheckPoint: Dorfman Pacific Rolls Out a New Wireless Warehouse IT/205 CheckPoint: Dorfman Pacific Rolls Out a New Wireless Warehouse The problem facing Dorfman Pacific was an inefficient picking system within their warehouse. This problem caused an increase in total required hours to perform the same tasks costing the organization excessive overtime pay. Solutions could include all of the following examples. The most basic solution with the lowest cost to implement, but also the lowest gain in efficiencies would be to reorganize the warehouse using order history to keep the most frequently ordered products in an easier access location and placing the slower moving product in further off locations. The next solution would be to implement a full paperless system including handheld scanners that wirelessly feed order information to warehouse employees. The most expensive solution would be what is known as an automated warehouse. This would require a small fleet of GPS, radio controlled, and proximity aware robots to perform all picking and packing tasks eliminating the human element. The best solution based on the type of goods used within the warehouse would be the mid-range full paperless system that includes handheld wireless scanners. To implement the solution we will have to choose which hardware and software we will need for the warehouse and also what it will need to interface with throughout the rest of the business. We will need a small area of the warehouse to...

...possible to obtain special reports from the system easily. But how does the information are being obtain and received throughout the world? Simply because wireless communication takes place. Wireless communication is the transfer of information between two or more points that are not connected by an electrical conductor. The most common wireless technologies use radio. This is actually the process on how UPS are recognized all over the world. It is accessible and easily search and found by the customers because of the wireless communication. BACKGROUND OF STUDY Inter modal transport can be described as the transport of merchandise by at least two transport modes with a minimum of one stage being made by train, by truck, or by maritime modes. In other words, it is a cargo unit that is transferred from a transport mode to a another. The optimal combination of modes allows transporters to achieve what is known as economies of scope. In a majority of cases, the first and/or last steps of the cargo itinerary consist in truck transportation and are to be minimized. More than ever, delivery firms' activities are based on inter modal transport to optimize delivery times and, in turn, their overall efficiency.

Clay jr New Trending Technology Paper Mr.Larsen Comp 2 14 January 2013 IEEE 802.11AC New and Improved Wireless Technology The new technology for your wireless home and business network is almost here! I’m talking about the IEEE 802.11AC which is going to be faster and capable of handling more of your High-definition video transfers with speeds equal to a gigabit ethernet. This is nice if you like technology but at what cost should I change my networking devices? The benefits are great but now we know neither the cost nor the date when gear will be available for the business world. With the 802.11ac technology we can only assume that this will cause most companies, who make our end-user products like laptops, tablets and servers for the business world, are going to need to accommodate this new addition to the wireless world. AC technology will have the capabilities to expand its bandwidth from mandatory 80 mhz to 160 mhz which doubles the network access. It also has MIMO and the MU-MIMO, which stands for multiple in and multiple out and multi user multiple in and multiple out. This allows for the communication between terminals, which is better for signal use to the IEEE 802.11AC 2 system. 802.11ac will give the end user whether its a laptop, handheld device or server more access to its network by doubling from 4 spatial streams to 8 spatial.
