Wireless connection - GCSE Computer Science Definition

Reviewed by: Robert Hampton

Last updated

A wireless connection is a way of connecting devices, like computers, tablets, and smartphones, to each other or to the internet without using physical cables. Instead of wires, it uses radio waves or infrared signals to send data. This type of connection is very common in schools, homes, and public places because it allows people to move around freely while staying connected. Examples of wireless connections include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data networks. They make it easy to access the internet, share files, and communicate with others, which is very useful for students both in and out of the classroom.
