Wireless and Mobile Communication Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs)

Wireless communication is the transmission of any piece of information/data between devices without the requirement for a physical connection. Wireless communication is becoming an increasingly important aspect of our daily lives. Wireless communication allows devices to communicate and exchange information over a short distance by transferring data, speech, and multimedia across a wireless network.

Mobile communication and wireless communication are frequently linked because mobile communication incorporates wireless communication properties. We can communicate with any number of users at any time and from any location thanks to mobile communication. In mobile communication, we have many networks, generally referred to as cellular networks, that let us communicate more effectively and with less interruption.

WIFI, RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth are some of the basic and daily used practical examples of mobile and wireless communication.
