Abstarct- Many industry are looking for new ways to maximize their investment in communication networks while ensuring reliable and secure information transmission. There is a variety of communications medium solutions, the two most popularly in used were wireless technology and wired options, such as copper and fiber-optic cable. Wired network has proven its potential in the olden days but nowadays wireless communication has emerged as a robust, most efficient and preferred communication technique. Each of these types of communication medium has their advantages and disadvantages according to its technological characteristics. Wired and wireless networking has different hardware requirements, ranges, mobility, reliability and benefits. The aim of the paper is to compare both the Wired and Wireless medium on the basis of various parameters such as usability, Cost, efficiency, flexibility, coverage, Interference, Reliability, Mobility, Speed, Security etc.

Keywords- Wired and Wireless, Speed, Security, coverage and interference.

I. INTRODUCTION II. WIRED COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY The concept of communication technology relies greatly on communication mediums (Wired and Wired communications is a broad term that is used to Wireless). The advance in technology and everyday describe any type of communication process that use of digital technology in sending and receiving relies on the direct use of cables and wiring to informations and messages quickly is very important transmit or transfer audio and visual information or inany organization or society for both the sender and data. A classic example of wired communications is the recipient, and are now apart of almost every the traditional home telephone that is connected to the business.In engineering and local telephone switch via wires that are ran from the computing terminology, the term “Wired home to the switch. technology” is a type of communication that involve The use of wired services remains common and is not cables or physical medium such as (Twisted-Pair, likely to disappear in the near future. Coaxial or Fiber-optic) forcommunication or data Local telephone networks often form the basis for transmission from source to destination.This is wired communications that are used by both reliable communication, but when a problem occurs residential and business customers in the area. Most especially in terms of wire failure then there will be of the networks today rely on the use of fiber-optic nocommunication. This type of communication technology as a means of providing connection can occur in different ranges of devices clear signaling for both inbound and outbound such as telephone networks, or transmissions. Fiber optics are capable of access, fiber-optic communication, routers, accommodating far more signals than the older printers, personal computers and so on. copper wiring used in generations past, while still Wireless technology use radio frequency (RF), maintaining the integrity of the signal over longer infrared, microwave, or other types of distances. electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fiber optics to transmit signals or data over Internet access from computer systems is also a a short or long distance.Wireless technology used to common example of modern wired communications. share the data, information between two or more In fact, telephone service providers often utilize the points which are not physically connected. The same wiring to provide both high speed Internet communication distance between the points can be solutions and basic telephone services to residential short, medium and long. Communication can be and business customers. Depending on the nature of happened between few meters to kilometers range. the connection, this may require using wiring and The two points can be a satellites, telephones, two- cables that have a higher capacity than standard way radios,television remote controls, mobile wires. Some system designs need nothing more than communications, wireless modems, computers, the addition of filtering devices that effectively split wireless keyboards, GPS unit and many more. the signal to allow a single outlet to provide Through wireless technology, one can communicate connectivity to both the audio phone network and the and share the data in long range, which can not be Internet. Cable television is also classified as wired possible through physical interface, Cables or wires. communications. Cable is run into each home and

The same our today’s environment. Observably, reducing the cable is connected with the cable network, making it cable restriction is one of the benefits of wireless with possible to activate the connection and allow both respect to cabled devices. Other benefits include the audio and visual transmissions to be received. This is dynamic network formation, low cost, and easy in contrast to traditional broadcasts that rely on over deployment. the air transmissions that must be picked up by a Wireless technologies are designed to reduce the time receiver and converted into sound and images that the and different type of obstacles created by the cables. reception device can process. Therefore, wireless networks have more convenient In general, wired communications are considered to working as compared to other type of wired be the most stable of all types of communications networking. Wireless technology is the type of the services. They are relatively impervious to adverse computer networking in which computer is connected weather conditions when compared to wireless with the different telecommunication devices solutions. With some forms of wired services, the wirelessly. It is used for the sake of different purposes strength and speed of the transmission is superior to such as communication or data transmission etc. these other solutions, such as satellite or microwave all types of transmission that is related to the wireless transmissions. These characteristics have allowed networks are carried out with help of different types wired communications to remain popular, even as of waves which have micro wavelength in nature wireless solutions have continued to advance. Wireless communication can be possible via radio In the advance of technology, IT specialist realizes frequency (RF), microwave and infrared to providee that the wired communication might be corrupted in high speed netwok connections. Technologies like different ways which include micro bending, Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS and GPRS uses radio attenuation, macro-bending and so on, also the frequencies to communicate between two points communication can be interrupted due to external whereas Infrared uses Infrared waves for factors such as the human, or natural effect such as communication. Using wireless technology, the flooding, earthquake and soon. Letter the idea of information can be exchange in long range, fastly and removing the wired and replace with wireless securely. communication was brought and it overcomes almost Wireless technology has widely spread lately and you all the problems of wired communication even can get connected almost anywhere; at home, at though it has its own disadvantages such as the slow work, in libraries, schools, airports, hotels and even in and increases the level of intrusion. some restaurants.
