Top Trends in Wireless Technology and Communication 2017

Wireless technology is no alien concept to man. In ancient times, we trained homing pigeons to dispatch messages to faraway lands, or sent smoke signals in vast deserts to communicate with each other. Today, Wireless technology has enabled us to transmit information over great distances, without help of wires, cables or any other mediums. The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters to thousands of kilometers.
The development of wireless technology has changed the way we live our lives. Long gone are the days of plugging a cable into the phone socket for connectivity and waiting patiently for one screen to load. The smartphones in our pockets are able to send text messages, photos and files on the go and GPS units, wireless computer parts, and satellite television are ensuring we have information just a click away. Wearable tech-devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers have taken ‘wireless’ to a whole new level.
Wireless technology has also revolutionized work spaces by providing access to the Internet and communication, improving productivity. It has not only increased sociability and civic management, but also intensity of all kinds of relationships in all cultures across the globe.
The incredible growth of Wi-Fi is enabling new innovation in wireless, but consumer demand is beginning to overwhelm the available spectrum. By 2020, the number of connected wireless devices is expected to be tripled. In fact, global internet traffic in 2020 will be equal to 95 times the volume of the entire World Wide Web in 2005.
