Wireless Network Simulation in Opnet

Wireless Network Simulation in Opnet in the sense; enable one or more devices to communicate without physical connections—without requiring network or peripheral cabling. Wireless technologies use radio frequency transmissions as the means for transmitting data, whereas wired technologies use cables
