Advanced Wireless Technologies: WiGig, Bluetooth, iBeacon & WiMax

This report provides an overview of recent advancements in wireless technologies, focusing on WiGig, Bluetooth Smart, Apple iBeacon, and WiMax. It details the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, highlighting WiGig's high speed but lack of security, Bluetooth Smart's wider range but vulnerability to information theft, Apple iBeacon's iOS exclusivity, and WiMax's susceptibility to weather conditions. The report also identifies the G5RV antenna as a potential dominant player in the future due to its impedance matching capabilities and minimum coax cable length. The analysis is supported by references to relevant research papers, offering a concise yet comprehensive understanding of the current landscape and potential future directions of advanced wireless technologies. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments for students.

Advanced Wireless
Technologies

 WiGig: It is the high speed wireless technology and
this new Wi-Fi protocol is connected at the speed of
10Gbps.
 Bluetooth Smart: It is the short range wireless
technology and connects more than 30 feet range.
 Apple iBeacon: These are retail oriented utilization
of Bluetooth Smart. It only deals with iOS devices
(Morris et al., 2014).
 WiMax: Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access provides options for Media Access control or
MAC and physical layer or PHY.

 WiGig: The main strength of WiGig is that it is extremely speedy and
speed is upto 7 Gbps.
The weakness of WiGig is the lack of security (Cook et al., 2013).
 Bluetooth Smart: The strength is the wider range connectivity up
to 30 feet.
The weakness is the theft of information.
 Apple iBeacon: The strength is utilization of Bluetooth Smart.
The weakness is that it only connects to the iOS devices.
 WiMax: The strength is that it can be deployed faster than wired
technologies.
The weakness is that the weather conditions like rain interrupts the
signal.

The wireless technology of G5RV antenna can be the
future dominant player.
It is a dipole with symmetric resonant feeder line.
This antenna serves as the impedance matcher for the
coax cable of 50 ohm to transceiver (Morris et al.,
2014).
It could be the dominant player in future since the
length of the coax cable is minimum 20metres.
