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.

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.
