Mobile computing is one such technology that enables data, voice and video to be sent over a computer
or by any other wireless enabled device without necessarily being attached to a physical connection.
Mobile communication is a part and parcel of the basic concept.
Mobile software Mobile devices.
Mobile communication
The mobile communication here, is the infrastructure installed to facilitate smooth and stable
communication taking place. These would consist of devices like protocols, services, bandwidth and
portal required to enable and support the aforementioned services. It is also at this stage when the data
format is determined. This makes sure that there is no overlapping with other systems that are already
in place and who provide the same service.
On-the-fly communication As the media is unguided/unbounded, the superimposing infrastructure is
essentially radio wave-oriented. In other words, the signals are transmitted through the air to the
desired devices that can receive and transmit similar types of signals.

Mobile Hardware
Mobile hardware consists of mobile devices or device elements which are receiving or accessing the
service of mobility. They would include portable laptops, smart phones, tablet PCs and personal digital
assistants. Mobile Devices
These devices will include a receptor medium that is sensitive and able to receive signals. These
machines are configured to work in full- duplex, that is, these machines can both send and receive
signals simultaneously. They do not even have to wait until one device has completed communications
before the other device initiates communications.
Devices above operate on an already established and known network. It would most commonly be a
wireless network. Mobile software
The real program that runs on the mobile hardware is called mobile software. It concerns the nature
and demands of mobile applications. This is the motor of the mobile device. To put it in other words, it
is the operating system of the appliance. It is the most vital thing that drives the mobile.
Mobile OS
As portability is the primary aspect, this form of computing means that users are neither bound nor
fixed to a physical location, but they can work anywhere. It includes everything about wireless
communications.
