Data transfer

1. Wireless ways to transfer information

   • Wi-Fi
     • Slower transfer of information than wired
     • No wires mean could mean complicated software setup
     • Range is larger than bluetooth
     • No wires mean no complicated hardware setup
     • More convenient, just have to be in range, no need for wire
     • Less secure
   • Bluetooth
     • Devices have to be paired with a passcode making it secure
     • Limited range - hard to get close enough to access to hack into.
     • Excellent for simple devices like mice, keyboards and bluetooth hands free headset
     • Limited range so can disconnect easily
     • Low bandwidth - only a limited amount of data can be shared

2. Wired ways to Transfer Information

   • Wired Network
     • High Speed data transfer
     • Expensive, extra cabling needed
     • Can be difficult to place wires in a building safely and can look ugly
