7.1.2  What You Need to Know
Wireless Basics
“Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie 
radios send and receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking 
devices exchange information with one another. A wireless networking device is 
just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information with radios 
attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking 
devices operate at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not 
require a license to use. However, wireless networking is different from that of 
most traditional radio communications in that there a number of wireless 
networking standards available with different methods of data encryption.
