...The ground breaking technological advancements of today is allowing the average consumer to watch streaming videos; the technologies have come to the front from companies such as Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent. These technologies will continue to amaze and amuse us like rides at an amusement park. Compare and Contrast 3G Wireless Networks to 4G Networks The comparisons and contrasts are laid out on blueprint papers and networks architectural layers in terms of services and applications, data throughput, and the end users perceptions. The differences in network architectural layout has its contrasts between the 3G and 4G networks, 3G networks are compiled of 1xrtt networks, CDMA 2000, along with the edge network. This observation comparison of the 4G network contrasts itself above the 3G network by increased data speeds, based on the network architectural cable wiring of the 3G network, and the fiber optic glass like tubes of a 4G network carrying thousands more data packets a second. The 4G networks, LTE, and LTE-advanced, WiMax2, advance themselves beyond the 3G networks, it’s like comparing and contrasting dial up speeds to high internet speeds at this point. The services and applications entertainment would start with3G attractions, mobile applications, streaming video and data applications became main-stream. (Smartphone 3G and 4G technology, heading paragraph: 4G: Up to 1Gbps.) With this 3G attraction there were mobile applications, and video content that required quicker...

...4G Wireless Networks Walter Clay Strayer University Abstract Today many of the wireless telephone companies from Verizon to AT&T to Sprint tries to persuade consumers that their networks are better than the other companies. 3G technologies ushered in the era of smart-phones and they have been the driving factor of many of the advances in wireless technologies today. As smart-phones and wireless technologies improve technologically savvy consumers are demanding more and more from wireless companies. Today, there are two wireless standards; 3G and 4G. 4G Wireless Networks When you look at 3G and 4G wireless networks you can compare and contrast them in four areas: service and application, network architecture, data throughput and user perceptions. “Compare and contrast 3G wireless networks to 4G networks in terms of services and applications” Applications are the primary reason consumers use smart-phones today. They get hooked on the convenience the applications bring to their lives. 3G is the first wireless network to provide these capabilities for consumers. For the first time they were able to have a video call with a family member on the go, they were able to stream movies and video, and even able to video conference on the go with the office. 4G picked up where 3G left off, it provided the capability to access information at the same speeds that you could on your computer at home. Consumers are now playing video games on the go, watching live sports events...

...BUS 100 – Introduction to Business Professor Denel Pierre In order to understand business and the economy one need to know the meaning of business and its purpose within society. Business can be viewed as a legal entity to sell goods, make goods or provide a service to individuals. It’s an economic system where a for-profit and a non-profit company can exist in providing goods and services. Businesses operate within a network of distributors and producers of goods, consumers’ who purchase goods, within a demographic area based on their needs and wants. Within this network how a business is structured and form can affect the profitability of that business; also, how businesses perform can affect the overall performance of a country’s economy. Describe the role of business in the economy Being part of a capitalistic economy businesses are the main and most important component of it. Businesses play a role in every section of an economy, such as; manufacturing, healthcare, retail and service are examples of what involves businesses. Without a network of producers and distributors there will be no economy, if businesses do not exist then consumers will have to produce, create, store, and sell items themselves, basically everyone would be fending for themselves for every need and want. (Kelly, M., & McGowen, J. (2012) In today’s global businesses environment the economic impact can be felt internationally. As businesses go through cycles of growth and peaks, contractions...

...9. Compare and contrast circuit-switched services, dedicated-circuit services, and packet-switched services. Both circuit switched and dedicated circuit networks establish a connection between two communicating devices. This circuit provides a guaranteed data transmission capability that is available for use by those two devices only. In contrast, packet switched services enable multiple connections to exist simultaneously between computers over the same physical circuit or even over different physical circuits. Also with packet switching different locations can have different connection speeds into the common carrier cloud. Circuit-switched services typically use a pay-per-use model, while dedicated circuits are billed at a flat fee per month, and the user has unlimited use of the circuit. All three services are leased from a provider and run through the service providers cloud. 19. How does a reliable packet service differ from an unreliable packet service? A reliable packet service, like X.25, guarantees error detection and delivery of the packets because control is done at each node in the network. An unreliable packet service, like ATM, does not perform control, which is left up to the software at the source and destination. 29. Describe five important factors in selecting WAN services. Important factors to consider when selecting WAN services are vendor capabilities, network capacity, cost, reliability and network integration. Reliability refers to the ability...
