Connected an the go: wide-area wireless internet.
For many of us today our first connection to the internet is a wireless one—​either to a nearby Wifi router or through the cellular data network. Wireless networking is one of the most exciting developments in the evolution of the internet. Today, most of us have internet access all the time and almost anywhere. As you probably expect, the infrastructure required to accomplish that is both impressive and quite interesting.
