  **Wired or Wireless, What’s the Difference?** The main difference between a wired and wireless data communication infrastructure is the existence of physical cabling. The same, or similar techniques are employed for both types of data communication infrastructure in terms of the core elements of essential network services.The basic difference between a wired and a wireless network is self-explanatory. A wired network uses wires to communicate whereas a wirelessnetwork usesradiowaves.Let us look at what are the other differences and how one technology gets an edge over the other.Wired networks are easy to set up andtroubleshoot where wirelessnetworks arecomparativelydifficult to set up, maintain, and troubleshoot.Wired networks make you immobile while wireless ones provide yo   u with convenienceof movement.Wired networks prove expensive when covering a large area because of the wiring andcablingwhilewirelessnetworks do not involve thiscost.Wired networks have better transmissionspeeds than wireless ones.In a wired network, a user does not have to share space with other usersandthus gets dedicated speeds while in wireless networks, the same connection may be shared bymultiple users.One of the most common questions we as consultants have to answer on a daily basis is the difference between wired and wireless networks. Wired: The communication between two devices via cables. Wireless: the communication between two devices without cables.Now, is it that simple Not exactly, each method of networking has its own pros and cons.Wireless networks do not use any form of cable. The transmission of data (yourfiles, music, printing to the printer etc) occurs over radio waves just likecordlessphones or the Bluetooth headset that came with that snazzy phone you purchased recently. The major advantage of having a wireless device is the mobility and freedom that comes with it. Moreover, there is less clutter and fewer wires to worry about. But, you sacrifice in most cases on speed and security.Wired networks on the other hand have been around for some time now. Officially known today as the Ethernet, the cables usually connect these devices using CAT5 cables. The speed and security in this scenario are greatly enhanced. The latest Ethernet routers can support up to 1000Mb/s or a

gigabit/sec. that’s 10 times faster than the widely used 100 Mb/s router. Moreover the over all cost of a wired network is lower, provides high performance and better security than wireless networks.The choice depends on your day to day activities. Wireless networks won’t become mainstream anytime soon in office environments. But as home users, wireless networks have become the choice. A little sacrifice in speed or security as a residential user is minimal but for an enterprise environment - well, it becomes a whole new ball game and, pretty detailed too.If a user or a company wants to make a data portable then Wireless networking is the answer. A wireless networking system can avoid the downtime, which may be caused in the wired network. A wireless network is also save your time and efforts in installing the lot of cables.Also, if you need to relocate a client machine in your office, you only need to move the computer with wireless network card.sWireless networking is very useful in the public places, libraries, hotels, schools, airports, railway stations where one might find wireless access to the internet. A drawback in the wireless internet is that quality of service (QOS) is not guaranteed if there is any interference then the connection may be dropped.

A temporary network can be formed by a small number of users without the need of access point; given that they do not need to access the resources.
