 Course Description
Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a
distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical
conductors. Wireless communication is playing a vital role in present day
communications. Wireless communication can be used for cellular
telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and
so on.
