−	~~#Redirect~~ [[Packet Radio Network]]	+	'''Packet radio''' is the name for [[datagram]] [[data network]] technology which sends data through the air using [[electro-magnetic radiation]] (i.e. radio). Packet radio technologies such as [[Wi-Fi]] and [[cellular telephone]] are now almost ubiquitous as the 'last hop' in most things' connection to the [[Internet]], both to allow mobility, and to avoid the hassle of having to run a physical [[conductor]] to the unit.
		+
		+	As such, most packet radio technologies are technically [[local area network\|LANs]]. Since most packet radio networks have more than one station trying to transmit on a given radio [[frequency]], an [[access control]] mechanism must be provided; at first, [[Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection\|CSMA-CD]] was invented for this.
		+
		+	==History==
		+
		+	The first packet radio system built was the [[ALOHA System]], built in Hawaii to connect together University of Hawaii campuses on different islands; because of the distances involved, this was technically a [[wide area network]].
		+
		+	The success of the ALOHA network inspired [[Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency\|DARPA]] to start a fairly considerable packet radio project, the [[Packet Radio Network]], in 1973, to explore the possibility of an ad-hoc data network using wireless links.
