Wireless & IoT Terms

35 plain-English definitions from the IT Glossary of Terms.

Wireless and IoT terms cover mobile lines and plans, cellular and fixed wireless connectivity, in-building coverage, Wi-Fi, and the connected devices and sensors that businesses deploy in buildings, vehicles and equipment. Buying here means choosing between carriers, plan structures and device programs, and planning how devices will be managed, secured and retired. Coverage claims, pooled plans and device costs are easy to misjudge, and connected devices often stay in service far longer than the contracts behind them. Knowing the vocabulary helps you compare carrier offers, plan coverage for real buildings and keep track of every line and device. Use these definitions when reviewing mobile plans or planning an IoT project, and see our wireless and IoT solutions for help sourcing them.
