The future of cablings

Is there a time where we will see cablings disappearing? I mean from twisted pairs (shielded and unshielded), coaxial and fiber optic cables. Let say for example LAN where there are fivety nodes (PCs), I think in this situation physical cables are needed because there are NICs which needs media connectors expecially if the network is Server Centric.

The above example clear the need of cabling but with the innovation of wireless settings like wireless home network(WHN) it time we try it out to save cable expenses.Though Windows XP Professsionals has builtin support for wireless technology with Service pack3 but this WLAN has some limitations for example it is ideal for laptops, allow temporally network and Users cannot access some of the resources.

In the next issue I will focus on the advantages of wireless settings range from:

  1. Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
  2. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
  3. Wireless Metropolitan Network (WWN)
  4. Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)
