The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1999 published the 802.11 wireless LAN Standard, which often referred to as “Wireless Fidelity” (Wi-Fi). In 15 April 2002, IEEE Standard Board approved the 802.15.1 Bluetooth (WPAN Task Group 1, 2003). The standards ensure compatibility, fair access of the medium with the support for high throughput, mobility and energy saving of the hardware devices that use the standards (802.11 and 802.15.1). Wireless connection is a rapid speed emergent technology that permits the populace admittance to networks and services without physical connection, for provision of flexibility and mobility (Willig, 2003). Perceptibly, wireless networking is reimbursement in respect to cabled devices, dynamic network formation, low cost, and easy deployment. The communication and sharing of the network data fall within resourcefully range of short, medium and long distance. The communication and share point of connections are Smartphones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Laptops, Wireless-keyboards, mice, telephones Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) unit and the like. 5&6 Department of Mathematics & Computer Science, Caleb University, Imota, Lagos State, Nigeria Emails: 1 demmysax@yahoo.co.uk; 2 yinka_olusanya@yahoo.com; 3 adebaredj06@gmail.com, 4 ibitowafolashade@yahoo.com, 5 longeolumide@fulbrightmail.org, olaogunjimi@@gmail.com Comparative Analysis of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Xender Wireless Technology Applications ABSTRACT Wireless technology and application are springing up all over the place, with a large variety of users, ensuring ease access, comfort and mobility. Their essential and indispensable attributes have made them to be part of human lifestyle. Wireless technology shares data and also provides channel of implementation for wireless application rely on radio transmission in the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. This paper discusses the characteristics of wireless technologies, wireless application, comparison of the commonly used technologies and application like: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Xender application. Currently, wireless technologies and applications are becoming more and more advance, and this needs to be analyzed for optimal usage.
