Wireless broadband is the new technology that allows you to access internet without telephone wires or cable network. In other words, you are no longer confined to a limited space where wired network is setup, whether in your home or your office. This means, with your laptop, you can access internet from anywhere in your home or office or even on move providing that you have necessary wireless equipment and an access point nearby.
A Wi-fi connection or wireless mode of internet access depends on two things an access point (this is what the so called hotspots provide in public places like restaurants etc) and wireless equipment like wireless router. The hotspot or access point transmits the data in the form of radio waves and the wireless router receives the data and passes on to your computer. Depending on the distance from the access point and the performance of your wireless router, the quality and stability of your connection may vary.
A new kind of emerging wireless broadband is mobile wireless broadband which enables you to get broadband access via mobile phone transmission towers. This wireless technology has made your internet connection possible even without hotspots or access points. However, the quality of service depends on the strength of signal in your area. All your PC or laptop needs are a special transmission card or a USB equipment to access the broadband service from your ISP.
