Wireless and Networks

1. Wired

   • Firewire
     • Firewire allows up to 63 devices to connect to its bus. It allows information to be quickly transferred between digital devices, such as digital cameras, home entertainment centres, printers and scanners and computer systems.

2. Wireless

   • WIFI
   • Bluetooth
     • Bluetooth is another wireless technology that allows devices such as phones, etc. to communicate over short distances. Bluetooth may already be installed in a device and thus a driver is not required. The idea is to pair one device to another using a passcode which is exchanged between the two devices. The first device asks for the password the user invents and then the second device asks for it. When the password is given correctly the two devices can communicate. Bluetooth is very popular for sending photos to your phone, sending voice from a headset to a mobile phone.
