I am curious how does really this protocol works? And how reliable can it be? I mean, is there any special rule and procedure for translation of these network packets sent through air? And how much difference there is comparing to regular normal UTP network or ADSL connection? Thanks in advance.

Hey there. First of all tell me, what do you think, how does some of USA server makes response to you, if you are connecting from Europe? Deep under the water through cables or over some satellite in the orbit? I think over satellite. So there is some sort of answer to your question. Internet couldnt be imagined without wireless transmission right? I know that Wifi and Satellite transmission is not the same, but both signals, somehow travel trough air. And when it reaches to a particular router, the data encryption is the same. Byte is byte, no matter is it non-wired or wired. So, it is secure. Just as any other network or protocol. But, when we speak of security,.... really, what is secure today?
