For Broadband Dongles see here
A wireless dongle is very much different from a dongle as while the dongle is a hardware device used to authenticate some software, a wireless dongle is a part of wireless communication technology.
Wireless dongle a great telecommunication tool
It can be said that the wireless dongle is a piece of hardware which you have to just plug into your PC to provide wireless access to the PC with other networks and computers. So with the help of a wireless dongle, the hassles of using wires to connect computers, mobile phones and electronic devices, over short distances is eliminated.
These wireless dongles, which use 2.4 GHz radio waves in its communication are known as wireless dongles. This is the same frequency used in wireless routers and wireless internet access points so they can communicate with each other.
Many devices, like personal computers, PDA, GPS and mobile phones are created such that they can be interconnected seamlessly, to provide wireless communication through wireless dongles.
The functioning of a wireless dongle
Though the newest laptops have wireless capabilities, most computers are not wireless compatible. It is possible to make these computers wireless compatible using wireless dongles. These wireless dongles are small finger sized devices that are connected to the computer through the USB port of the personal computer.
With this wireless dongle, it is possible to connect the PC to nearby mobile phones and other wifi devices, so that data can be safely and easily transferred between the two. So if you want some data on the computer, like addresses and phone numbers on a phone, all you have to do is to access the data through the wireless dongle.
Broadband Wireless Dongles
Wireless broadband dongles work by communicating with a mobile mast and mobile network rather than connecting to another wireless device like the normal wireless dongle. This means that you can wirelessly connect to the internet from any location that has a mobile signal.
