Tom Carpenter's Blog

You’ll have to forgive me this diversion. Anyone who knows me knows that I love wireless communications technology and think it is one of the best developments man has every discovered. Well, with that in mind I developed this simple poetic rhyme. Read it to the rhythm of a George Carlin poetic rant:

You’ve got LANs, WANs, MANs and PANs
There’s wire-line, wireless, sensor-based and even mesh

You’ve got 2G, 3G, 4G and multi-frequency
There’s narrow-band, wide-band, in-band, out-of-band and broadband

If you’re not careful, you’ll run into Bluetooth, Zigbee, IrDA and RFID
And when you’re not lookin’ in comes 11a, 11b, 11n and 11g

If by now you do not see, this is the wireless industry.

OK. I’m done. I promise. But you must admit, this is the world of wireless – with a bit of wired networking thrown in.
