3. What is Mobile Computing ?
Mobile computing is a technology that allows
transmission of data, voice and video via a
computer or any other wireless enabled
device without having to be connected to a
fixed physical link.
It is use of portable devices, like
smartphones or tablets, to perform computing
tasks and access information while on the
move, often through wireless networks.
4. HISTORY
.
Developments in mobile technology have led to many different types of
mobile computing . Though mobile computing technology has existed
since the 1980s, it was in the late 1990s and 2000s that advances in the
technology put it into the hands of numerous consumers
5. Components of Mobile Computing
1. Mobile Devices
These are the hardware tools used to access mobile computing systems.
Examples include : Smartphones ,Tablets , Laptops and netbooks These
devices are portable, lightweight, and capable of wireless communication.
2. Mobile Communication
This involves the technologies and infrastructure that allow data to be
transmitted wirelessly. Examples : Cellular networks: 3G, 4G,5G Wi-Fi Wireless
internet connectivity and Bluetooth Short-range wireless communication.
3. Mobile Software
