3. What is Mobile Computing ?
Mobile computing is a technology that allows
transmission of data, voice and video via a
computer or any other wireless enabled
device without having to be connected to a
fixed physical link.
It is use of portable devices, like
smartphones or tablets, to perform computing
tasks and access information while on the
move, often through wireless networks.

4. HISTORY
.
Developments in mobile technology have led to many different types of
mobile computing . Though mobile computing technology has existed
since the 1980s, it was in the late 1990s and 2000s that advances in the
technology put it into the hands of numerous consumers

5. Components of Mobile Computing
1. Mobile Devices
These are the hardware tools used to access mobile computing systems.
Examples include : Smartphones ,Tablets , Laptops and netbooks These
devices are portable, lightweight, and capable of wireless communication.
2. Mobile Communication
This involves the technologies and infrastructure that allow data to be
transmitted wirelessly. Examples : Cellular networks: 3G, 4G,5G Wi-Fi Wireless
internet connectivity and Bluetooth Short-range wireless communication.
3. Mobile Software
Software and applications designed to operate on mobile devices. This
includes : Operating Systems: Android, iOS, Windows Mobile.

6. Features of Mobile Computing
Portability : Devices can be easily carried anywhere laptops, smartphones,
tablets.
Connectivity: Constant access to the internet and networks through Wi-Fi,
4G/5G, or Bluetooth.
Remote Access: Ability to access files, applications, and systems from
anywhere.
Real-time Data Access :Users can send and receive information instantly..
GPS and Sensors:
 Some mobile devices feature GPS for location tracking and other sensors like
accelerometers and compasses

7. Applications of Mobile Computing
 Mobile computing has a wide range of applications across various
industries and everyday life .
 Communication Instant messaging, video calls, and emails via
smartphones and tablets . Social media apps like WhatsApp,
Facebook, and Instagram.
 Healthcare Remote patient monitoring using mobile devices .
Health tracking apps fitness trackers, heart rate monitors.
 Education E-learning platforms like Google Classroom, Coursera,
and Khan Academy.Mobile apps for interactive learning and study
resources and Entertainment , Disaster Management etc …

8. ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Mobile computing offers
advantages like enhanced
productivity, flexibility, and
accessibility, enabling users to
access information and resources
anytime, anywhere, while also
streamlining business processes
and fostering collaboration.
Mobile computing, while
offering convenience and
connectivity, presents
disadvantages such
as security risks, limited
processing power, potential
distractions, and privacy
concerns, as well as
dependence on internet
connectivity.

9. CHALLENGES IN MOBILE COMPUTING
 Security Issues Risk of data theft, hacking, and
unauthorized access.
 Battery Life Limited power supply can hinder long-term
use.
 Data Privacy Sensitive user data can be exposed
through apps or third-party services.
 Limited Processing Power Mobile devices have lower
computing power compared to desktops/laptops.
 Device Compatibility Not all software/apps run the same
across different mobile devices or operating systems.
