WAP has been slow to come, but wireless communications are here to stay

By Eva Pascoe

4 September 2000

...For those looking further than the next six months, a crash course in wireless interface or application development is a must. WAP has been slow to come, but wireless communications are here to stay in a number of ways. Bluetooth rollout for wireless networks is an area where lots of new jobs will be created. Bluetooth (www.bluetooth.com) promises to remove the need for cables when connecting electronic devices and at the moment there is not more than a handful of people in town who can tell their infrared data associate from their short-range radio links, which Bluetooth uses. Bluetooth will allow us to connect printers, modems, wireless devices and PDAs to each other via short-range radio modules installed in each device. That means lots more interesting opportunities for collaborative computing will be created, thus developing a great job market for all the wireless specialists.

All the big networks and device manufacturers are going to be looking for people from around the fourth quarter of this year, with the peak number of job vacancies predicted for around mid-2001. Since Bluetooth development is a bit of a black art, the companies will be looking for adventurerous, creative folk who can think out of the box and are not afraid of experimenting. I suspect that many of the internet pioneers will move over that way as well, but the growth of wireless communications should ensure there will be space for all, including dot.com refugees.
