| Also known as wireless,
cordless is the ability to operate a device without any wires that
may cause constricted movement. Cordless computer hardware
devices commonly utilize such Infrared or Bluetooth. Cordless
networks, more commonly known as Wi-Fi,
utilize one of the IEEE
802.11 wireless standards to achieve wireless.
Although a cordless hardware device requires no wires, it will
commonly require some type of device to broadcast a signal; for
example, a Bluetooth mouse may require a
USBBluetoothtransceiver to send and receive
signals from the mouse. In addition to this, all wireless hardware
devices will require batteries to power the device or utilize power
from the computer.
