...An agreed upon guidelines or set of rules for communication is called a protocol. It’s extremely important to agree on some communication rules otherwise it will fail. Different protocols are needed for different systems to "talk" to each other or communicate. Protocols are used to communicate, authenticate and is also used for error detection and recovery. The protocol allows computers to talk to each other by setting the "ground rules". It allows for data to flow back and forth between the computers. TCP/IP is the most common protocol, and is actually two distinct protocols, married together (TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol). Each protocol does a different "job". Others, such as FTP (File transfer protocol) are used for specific duties to be performed. Imagine two people talking on the phone....one talks the other listens, then they reverse, and the talker becomes the listener. That is a Protocol! What happens when they both talk? Neither hears what the other says. But what happens if they both listen, but not talk...no "data' is exchanged. Standards are totally different, although related.....they are ground rules set by a commission so that hardware is compatible amongst similar computers, and assures interoperability. This is done (usually) to ensure backwards compatibility and compatibility from vendor to vendor. For wireless networking there are varieties of protocols and the most popular is 802.11b as it is the most inexpensive one...

Compare the pros and cons of 3GL and 4GL technology to determine the best uses of 3GL and 4GL technology in today’s applications. 2. Describe how an enterprise would use 3G, 4G, WAN, and WIMAX to improve business. Explain why they would use one (1) solution over the remaining three (3). 3. Analyze the changes in 4GL technology since the printing of the textbook in 2009 and identify those of importance for a user of 4GL technology. 4. Take a position on the following statement, “Wireless application protocol is a necessity for wireless communication organizations and their users.” Then, explain your position with supporting evidence. Compare the pros and cons of 3GL and 4GL technology to determine the best uses of 3GL and 4GL technology in today’s applications. So what are the benefits or otherwise of using a 3GL over a 4GL and vice versa. For me it certainly depends on all the usual factors that drive any technology decision. Cost of product, support, flexibility, the human factor, tool lifecycle, vendor direction and target platforms being a few that come to mind instantaneously. (Dare, 2008) The pros of 3GL * 3GL’s are quicker to react to emerging markets and development trends: Generally the suppliers of these 3GL tools are inventing the future. They don’t often agree with each other but they certainly have the...
