What's the difference between wireless broadband, wired broadband and fiber broadband?
Wireless broadband is convenient and cheap, and wired broadband has high network speed.

In fact, all kinds of broadband technologies are not independent. Usually, they are combined to provide services for users. For example, most families use various cable broadband technologies to enter the home, and then install WiFi. For example, most smartphones now support WiFi and mobile communication networks. Another example is Huawei's E5 as a typical representative, which uses mobile communication network as a transmission network to provide WiFi signals. This feature has been included in the CDMA version of the iPhone. It is said that it will become the standard function of iPhone in the future.

Judging from the development in recent years, wireless broadband has unparalleled advantages. First, it is convenient, and second, it is cheap. Wireless technology completely gets rid of the restrictions of cables and can move around. Mobile communication technology also ensures that when roaming to other places, you can get the same service as the local one. In terms of price, WiFi is almost free. Although the mobile communication service is much more expensive, it still has great advantages compared with the broadband access price of hotels and restaurants.

Of course, wired access also has a very prominent feature, that is, high transmission rate and fast network speed. After using optical fiber technology, the transmission capacity is almost unlimited. Especially for transmitting HDTV, optical fiber is the only solution. In the current process of triple play, if we carefully look at the development paths of radio and television and telecom operators, we will find that they have finally developed into optical fiber access technology. Telecom ADSL and Ethernet, as well as coaxial cable for radio and television, will be eliminated.
