Mobile communication

The mobile communication in this case, refers to the


infrastructure put in place to ensure that seamless and reliable
communication goes on. These would include devices such as
protocols, services, bandwidth, and portals necessary to facilitate
and support the stated services. The data format is also defined
at this stage. This ensures that there is no collision with other
existing systems which offer the same service.

Since the media is unguided/unbounded, the overlaying


infrastructure is basically radio wave-oriented. That is, the signals
are carried over the air to intended devices that are capable of
receiving and sending similar kinds of signals.

Mobile Hardware
Mobile hardware includes mobile devices or device components
that receive or access the service of mobility. They would range
from portable laptops, smartphones, tablet Pc's, Personal Digital
Assistants.
These devices will have a receptor medium that is capable of
sensing and receiving signals. These devices are configured to
operate in full- duplex, whereby they are capable of sending and
receiving signals at the same time. They don't have to wait until
one device has finished communicating for the other device to
initiate communications.

Above mentioned devices use an existing and established


network to operate on. In most cases, it would be a wireless
network.

Mobile software
Mobile software is the actual program that runs on the mobile
hardware. It deals with the characteristics and requirements of
mobile applications. This is the engine of the mobile device. In
other terms, it is the operating system of the appliance. It's the
essential component that operates the mobile device.

Since portability is the main factor, this type of computing


ensures that users are not tied or pinned to a single physical
location, but are able to operate from anywhere. It incorporates
all aspects of wireless communications.
