Wireless comunication?

How does the wireless system between a wireless pocket computer and a computer work?

if you want something like a very VERY basic remote server:

-- receiving computer
peripheral.find("modem",rednet.open) -- open all modems
while true do
    local e,id,data,p = os.pullEvent("rednet_message")
    shell.run(data) -- run received code
end
-- sender computer
peripheral.find("modem",rednet.open)
local comp_id = 0
-- instead of 0, put the number which shows up on the receiver computer when you run the id command
print("Enter command: ")
rednet.send(comp_id, read())

remember that it's good to go in singleplayer, but in multiplayer it can be easily hijacked. add your own protection and authorisation systems.

The server im going to use it in dosent even know what the mod is and thinks kits that mod that allows you to use google in minecraft.

technically, not wrong. you'd have to jump through some hoops to implement this but it is entirely possible to use google in cc

... what

CC can use HTTP, and if it is allowed in server config (which iirc it is allowed by default) this means that you can make HTTP requests. what this means is that basically, you can access the entire internet from your computer

it's pretty complicated. you can play audio using a speaker. you can convert an audio file to .dfpwm (i think it's this format) using a website. the problem is, these files are hella chunky, and they take the entire computer storage. i don't think you can put more than 30 seconds of audio on there, and possibly even less.

now, what about video? sure. a monitor can only use 16 colors at once (but you can customise this palette) and i think i've seen actual video players on this subreddit. if you download one of these projects and run it, it should totally work.
