Mobility

Everyone has one, right?  Cell phones use radio waves over a networked area (cells) through a cell site or base station (aka a tower) at a fixed location, enabling calls to transmit wirelessly over a wide range, to a fixed landline or via the Internet.  iPhones and Androids are considered smart phones and they represent the two largest platforms on the planet today.

3G will work at frequencies up to 2.1Gigahertz, 4G goes up to 2.5Gigahertz and 5G can be up to 95 Gigahertz. 5G is the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is the planned successor to the 4G networks which provide connectivity to most current cellphones.

The Internet of Things describes the network of physical objects—a.k.a. “things”—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet.

Mobile Device Management refers to the administration of mobile devices, like smartphones, tablet computers and even laptops.  Generally, MDM is controlled with the use of a third-party product which offers administrators management features over linked devices.
