- 3 Goal of Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing People and
their machines should be able to access information and communicate
with each other easily and securely, in any medium or combination
of media voice, data, image, video, or multimedia any time,
anywhere, in a timely, cost-effective way. Dr. G. H. Heilmeier, Oct
1992
- Slide 4
- 4 Enabling Technologies r Development and deployment of
wireless/mobile technology and infrastructure m in-room,
in-building, on-campus, in-the-field, MAN, WAN r Miniaturization of
computing machinery... -> PCs -> laptop -> PDAs/smart
phones -> embedded computers/sensors r Improving device
capabilities/software development environments, e.g., m andriod:
http://code.google.com/android/ m iphone:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/ m windows mobile
- Slide 5
- Pervasive Use of Mobile Wireless Devices r There are ~4 billion
mobile phones m Over 50 countries have mobile phone subscription
penetration rates higher than that of the population (Infoma 2007)
m http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_pen etration_rate r The
mobile device will be the primary connection tool to the Internet
for most people in the world in 2020. PEW Internet and American

- 8 At Home: Last-Mile r Many users still dont have broadband m
reasons: out of service area; some consider expensive r Broadband
speed is still limited m DSL: 1-6 Mbps download, and 100- 768Kbps
upload m Cable modem: depends on your neighbors m Insufficient for
several applications (e.g., high- quality video streaming)
