The telecommunications industry began when we used cable to carry messages back and forth. But it takes a lot of cable to wire the whole world. And so we’ve taken it away and gone wireless.

“Wireless” refers to communication technologies that transmit data through the air using radio or microwave signals. It offers many advantages over conventional wired connections. It’s easier, quicker, neater, and less costly to install. And users do not need to be tethered to a single spot. However, wireless networks are generally slower and considered less secure.
