BUSINESS BENEFITS OF
3G-4G
MOBILE COMPUTING is the discipline for creating an
information management platform, which is free from
spatial and temporal constraints.
It can be defined as a computing environment of physical
mobility
User of a mobile computing environment will be able to
access data, information or other logical objects from any
device in any network while on the move.
Communication bearer is spread over both wired and
wireless media.

COMPUTING is called unguided media
in
MOBILE
Wireless communication using this media, i.e., radio and
microwave or satellite, has found widespread use in
mobile phones
A little bit from history
Communication b/w two devices is successful only
when
Receiver gets intended information from the sender.
