Mobile computing allows users to access computing devices while mobile through portable devices. It involves mobile communication, hardware, and software. Limitations include insufficient bandwidth on mobile networks, security risks on public networks, limited battery life, signal interference issues, and potential health hazards. Common mobile computing devices are portable computers, tablets, PDAs, smartphones. Wireless services include cellular networks, GPS, cordless devices, and satellite television. Wireless networks use technologies like WiFi to connect laptop and mobile users over distances or in locations where cabling is not practical. Wireless communication occurs through radio frequency, microwave or infrared modes for various applications.
![ Transmission interferences
Weather, terrain, and the range from the nearest signal point can all
interfere with signal reception. Reception in tunnels, some buildings,
and rural areas is often poor.
Potential health hazards
More car accidents are related to drivers who were talking through a
mobile device. Cell phones may interfere with sensitive medical
devices. There are allegations that cell phone signals may cause
health problems.[citation needed]
Human interface with device
Screens and keyboards tend to be small, which may make them
harder to use. Alternate input methods such as speech or
handwriting recognition require training.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/chapter09-pertemuan13-donpas-mobilecomputing-190207022557/85/Chapter-09-pertemuan-13-donpas-mobile-computing-5-320.jpg)

- 1. Mobile Computing PTI Pertemuan 13 Donaya Pasha, S.Kom., M.Kom. Chapter 9 - Pertemuan 13
- 2. Today’s Lessons Mobile Computing Definition Limitation Devices Wireless Services Networks Modes
- 3. Mobile Computing Definition Mobile computing: being able to use a computing device even when being mobile and therefore changing location. Portability is one aspect of mobile computing (from http://mobileman.projects.supsi.ch/glossary.html) Aspect mobile communication mobile hardware mobile software
- 4. Mobile Computing Limitation Insufficient bandwidth Mobile Internet access is generally slower than direct cable connections, using technologies such as GPRS and EDGE, and more recently HSDPA and HSUPA 3G networks. These networks are usually available within range of commercial cell phone towers. Higher speed wireless LANs are inexpensive, but have very limited range. Security standards When working mobile one is dependent on public networks, requiring careful use of VPNs. Power consumption When a power outlet or portable generator is not available, mobile computers must rely entirely on battery power. Combined with the compact size of many mobile devices, this often means unusually expensive batteries must be used to obtain the necessary battery life.

- 7. Wireless Services The term "wireless" has become a generic and all-encompassing word used to describe communications in which electromagnetic waves or RF (rather than some form of wire) carry a signal over part or the entire communication path. Common examples of wireless equipment in use today include: Professional LMR (Land Mobile Radio) and SMR (Specialized Mobile Radio) typically used by business, industrial and Public Safety entities. Consumer Two way radio including FRS Family Radio Service, GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) and Citizens band ("CB") radios. The Amateur Radio Service (Ham radio). Consumer and professional Marine VHF radios. Cellular telephones and pagers: provide connectivity for portable and mobile applications, both personal and business.
- 8. Global Positioning System (GPS): allows drivers of cars and trucks, captains of boats and ships, and pilots of aircraft to ascertain their location anywhere on earth. Cordless computer peripherals: the cordless mouse is a common example; keyboards and printers can also be linked to a computer via wireless. Cordless telephone sets: these are limited-range devices, not to be confused with cell phones. Satellite television: allows viewers in almost any location to select from hundreds of channels. Wireless gaming: new gaming consoles allow players to interact and play in the same game regardless of whether they are playing on different consoles. Players can chat, send text messages as well as record sound and send it to their friends. Controllers also use wireless technology. They do not have any cords but they can send the information from what is being pressed on the controller to the main console which then processes this information and makes it happen in the game. All of these steps are completed in milliseconds.
- 9. Wireless Networks Wireless networking (i.e. the various types of unlicensed 2.4 GHz WiFi devices) is used to meet many needs. Perhaps the most common use is to connect laptop users who travel from location to location. Another common use is for mobile networks that connect via satellite. A wireless transmission method is a logical choice to network a LAN segment that must frequently change locations. The following situations justify the use of wireless technology: To span a distance beyond the capabilities of typical cabling, To provide a backup communications link in case of normal network failure, To link portable or temporary workstations, To overcome situations where normal cabling is difficult or financially impractical, or To remotely connect mobile users or networks.
- 10. Wireless Modes Wireless communication can be via: radio frequency communication, microwave communication, for example long-range line-of-sight via highly directional antennas, or short-range communication, or infrared (IR) short-range communication, for example from remote controls or via Infrared Data Association (IrDA). Applications may involve point-to-point communication, point-to- multipoint communication, broadcasting, cellular networks and other wireless networks.
