"The provision of a service using the medium of radio waves" applies as much today as it did when the first broadcasts were made. The range of services available have obviously increased from simply broadcast of spoken word to the use of radio as a transportation mechanism for non spoken data.
Both are still important, however the integration of different technologies are involved. n-wss understands radio frequencies and their pros and cons and have implemented radio systems and products from PMR to WLAN.
Increasingly this medium is integrated with other technologies and used to control equipment or interact with the web. In other areas it is allowing the freedom of movement whilst maintaining a level of contact with office functions.
WIFI hotspots, GPRS, 3G are infrastructures which allow the possibility of expansion in mobile wireless functionality. n -wss is working to exploit these opportunities. The new TETRA digital radio system supplied to the Emergency services, and in which n-wss supported its comissioning, maintenance and upgrade, sits on a completely digital IP based backbone, operating with VoIP years before it was offered to the mainstream and offers a great example of how a radio medium integrates with modern IP data transfer mechanisms. |
