What is Wireless Broadband (WB)?
Wireless broadband (WB) is a transmission method that permits very large amounts of data, video and voice information to be exchanged simultaneously among multiple users at very high rates of speed independent of any wired interconnection. This could include connecting to web-based resources or to any data network but could also include entirely new uses for data and more. The key features: • Wireless broadband is very fast. • Wireless broadband is high-capacity (can move LOTS of information/pictures/video/audio — ANY data — at a time). • Wireless broadband can work on many kinds of devices, large and small, including some that do not yet exist. • Wireless broadband can be used in unlimited locations (portable and mobile). • Wireless broadband can be used anytime (not limited to school day, for example) For students of all ages, WB can be the means to access the educational opportunities they seek wherever they are and whenever they wish.
