Advantages
High bandwidth
Less interference (at least so far)
Narrow beams (more reusablity in geographic areas when compared to microwave)
Potential Health Benefits (actually used this way, mostly in Former Soviet Union)
Disadvantages
Short range
Potential health effects (higher energy content than microwave)
Clearly not a comprehensive list. I have just started my own research into this.

What networks uses radio waves as a transmission media?
Wireless.
How are millimeter waves used in everyday life?
They are used in telecommunications for high-speed wireless broadband communication and point-to-point wireless local area networks (WLANs).
What is cellular wireless networks?
wireless networks accesible from your mobile phone
What has the author Rob Flickenger written?
Rob Flickenger has written: 'WIRELESS' 'Wireless' 'Building wireless community networks' -- subject(s): Local area networks (Computer networks), Metropolitan area networks (Computer networks), Standards, Wireless communication systems
What is the difference between wireless and wired network?
Wired networks have a wire that connects them to an internet port, wireLESS networks do not.
What are the various physical and wireless transmission media?
Physical Media Twisted-Pair Cable Coaxial Cable Fiber-Optic Cable Wireless Media Broadcast Radio Cellular Radio Microwaves Communication Satellite
What are the advantages of transmission media?
SpeedWireless networks and other transmission media have made gains in speed and reliability, but they pale in comparison to the speed that wired networks can provide. DSL Internet access, for instance, will transmit data far faster than a wireless Internet connection. Wireless connections often suffer from interference and weaker signals, depending on location, affecting the speed of data transmission. Wired connections overcome both quite easily without any loss in speed.SecurityWireless networks tend to suffer from more security attacks than wired networks. In a wired network, a hacker would have difficulty walking into a home or business and tampering with the wires. However, in a wireless network, a hacker only needs to have close proximity and a knowledge of how wireless data transmission works to get inside. A hacker can simply use a vulnerable wireless connection to surf the net, or he may steal personal data stored on a computer within the network. He also will have an easier time intercepting data sent wirelessly than data sent through a wired connection.
Which two of the following techniques help to reduce overhead in 802.11n wireless transmission?
Network+ Guide to Networks answer: Frame aggregation, Channel bonding
Does bluetooth technology falls under the category of wireless networks?
yes it falls under the category of wireless networks
When was International Journal of Wireless Information Networks created?
International Journal of Wireless Information Networks was created in 1994.
Why do wireless Ethernet networks attract hackers?
Wireless networks are wireless so they flout in the air, like radio waves. Then a hacker can hook on and gain access.
Are wireless networks laid out using the same topologies as wired networks?
Wireless networks are not laid out using the same topologies as wired networks. They have their own, different layouts. Smaller wireless networks, in which a small number of nodes closely positioned need to exchange data, can be arranged in an ad hoc fashion.
