| | Wireless Networking & Technology, Wireless Communication, Broadband Wireless. |
 | | The term is commonly used in the telecommunications industry to refer to telecommunications systems (e.g., radio transmitters and receivers, remote controls, computer networks, network terminals, etc.) which use some form of energy (radio frequency, infrared light, laser light, visible light, acoustic energy, etc.) to transfer information without the use of wires. |
 | | The term "wireless" should not be confused with the term "cordless", which is generally used to refer to powered devices that are able to operate from a portable power source without any cable or cord to limit the mobility of the cordless device through a connection to the mains power supply. |
 | | It is interesting to note that some cordless devices, such as cordless telephones, are also wireless in the sense that information is transferred from the cordless telephone to the telephone's base unit via some type of wireless communications link. |
