Abstract:
Wireless communication is a very important part of our lives. Using mobile networks (GSM, UMTS or LTE standards), satellites connections, Wi-Fi local networks or terrestrial microwave, the telecommunication and data transfer between people or companies are assured. This paper presents an overview of wireless networks with their advantages and drawbacks and highlights some of the most common types of attacks whereby an intruder can intercept data.
