...Pros and cons of cellular networks Pros: Increased efficiency and improved data communications lead to faster transfer of information within businesses and between partners and customers. They have better coverage because wireless technology enables the user to communicate while on the go. You don't need extra cables or adaptors to access office networks. Flexibility- Office-based wireless workers can be networked without sitting at dedicated computers, and can continue to do productive work while away from the office. This can lead to new styles of working, such as home working or direct access to corporate data while on customer sites. Cost savings-Wireless networks can be easier and cheaper to install, especially in listed buildings or in apartments. Better opportunities-Wireless networking could allow you to offer new products or services. Most airports, train stations, hotels, cafes and restaurants have installed 'hot spot' wireless networking services to allow mobile users to connect their equipment to their 'home' offices while travelling. Cons: Security- Wireless transmission is more vulnerable to attack by unauthorized users, so you have to have better security. Installation problems- You may suffer interference if others in the same building also use wireless technology or where other sources of radio signals are present. This could lead to poor communication or loss of wireless communication altogether. Coverage- In some buildings getting consistent coverage can be...

...There are many wireless technologies available for business use today. Most of the technologies available are cost efficient and help the business run smoother. We think Party Plates would benefit most from using Wi-Fi, tablets, and wireless printers/networks. Wi-Fi can be used by any business. The business can allow its customers to connect to it free of charge if they wish. Allowing customers to connect to their Wi-Fi gives the business the ability to capture the customer’s e-mail address if their device is set up with it. This helps with marketing, sale notifications, newsletters, and announcements. The cost of Wi-Fi is basically just any cost associated with initially getting the Internet hooked up and a one-time purchase fee of a wireless router, unless one is offered to the customer when they get their Internet hooked up. There does not have to be wires ran throughout the building for Wi-Fi nor do the customers have to be connected to anything to access it, which allows them the freedom of setting where they want and being able to move around the room. Offering Wi-Fi free to the customers and an APP so they can check-in, leave comments, and rate the business could be beneficial to get new business. Tablets with touchscreen capabilities would also be a good wireless technology for Party Plates to implement into their business. These tablets can also double as a phone. Having tablets could allow us to show customer items we may offer only online or by special order....

...Wired or Wireless Networks: Which Way to Go? When deciding between choosing a wired or wireless network, the main factor really depends on what you are using it for. Both have pros and cons so in the end it’s all about what exactly you need in a computer network. Do you need bells, whistles and something to expand floors/offices or something small to work in close vicinity. For starters the equipment you need for both outside of the computers/devices that you want to connect are as follows: for a wired network you will need either a router, switch or hub. A network adaptor for each computer and device to be used on the network and a cord/cable for each computer. This can get costly as you add more computers. For wireless networking you will need the Modem, Router and depending on how big your network is you may need antennas to boost the signal. Wired Networks are rather limited to computers/laptops. A wireless network is for any device that has wireless capabilities such as computers, laptops, televisions, printers, tablets, cell phones, video games DVD players and media players. All they need is the password for the private network or agreeing to the terms and conditions on a public network. For a small business just beginning, a wired network is perfect. It is relatively easy to set up as you only need the computers placed close together and connected by the cords. This however becomes a task the more computers you add and the further you expand. You may...

...PROS OF CELL PHONE IN MODERN SOCIETY | December 10 2011 | | BILL HASBUNE | PROF. ARTHUR CACACE PROS OF CELL PHONES IN MODERN SOCIETY INTRODUCTION: The concept of the cellular phone has been around since 1947; however the technology to do so did not exist until 1973. According to (wikipedia.com) “In December 1947, Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young, Bell Labs engineers, proposed hexagonal cells for mobile phones in vehicles. Philip T. Porter, also of Bell Labs, proposed that the cell towers be at the corners of the hexagons rather than the centers and have directional antennas that would transmit/receive in three directions into three adjacent hexagon cells on three different frequencies. At this stage, the technology to implement these ideas did not exist, nor had the frequencies been allocated. Several years would pass before Richard H. Frenkiel and Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs developed the electronics to achieve this in the 1960s” .It was not until in 1973 On April 3, Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive, made the first analogue mobile phone call using a heavy prototype model. He called Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs “There was a long race between Motorola and Bell Labs to produce the first portable mobile phone. Cooper is the first inventor named on "Radio telephone system" filed on October 17, 1973 with the US Patent Office and later issued as US Patent 3,906,166. John F.

...Wireless Technologies and Networks Wireless Technologies and Networks in the work environment Learning about different forms of communication is always fun and also discussing things that will heighten technology is also great to talk about. When the team got together we had numerous discussions going about that ended up almost like a tree discussion where we obviously knew the base of the talk and then we climbed up the trunk and went into tangents like branches. All in all it was a great conversation and I think the team came out with a great understanding and also more knowledge of the topic. Wireless technology and networks in the work environment are a part of most people’s everyday lives. While I was speaking and contributing to the discussion I realized that my team had more knowledge of the subject then I did and maybe it was better for me to listen and not speak as much as I am an active learner when listening so I can comprehend the information being given. While I was speaking I wanted to stress to my team that privacy and using the wireless technology in the workplace has to be front and center of the discussion. Understanding also that utilizing the different forms of networks in the workplace also will help the speed of getting things done. My portion of the discussion was received well and the discussion on privacy and policy of using the network lasted about twenty minutes so knew that I had brought up a valid topic.

...Unit 10 Research Exercise Josue Tagle ITT Technical Institute NT-1110 1-What exactly is electrostatic discharge (ESD)? Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects caused by contact, an electrical short or dielectric breakdown. A buildup of static electricity can be caused by tribocharging or by electrostatic induction. The ESD occurs when differently-charged objects are brought close together or when the dielectric between them breaks down, often creating a visible spark. 2-Perform the following research about the CompTIA’s Six Steps to troubleshooting, explain EACH step in DETAIL: Step 1: Identify the Problem In this first step you already know that there is a problem; now you have to identify exactly what it is. This means gathering information. You do this in a few ways: Step 2: Establish a Theory of Probable In step 2 you theorize as to what the most likely cause of the problem is. Start with the most probable or obvious cause. For example, if a computer won’t turn on, your theory of probable cause would be that the computer is not plugged in! This step differs from other troubleshooting processes in that you are not making a list of causes but instead are choosing one probable cause as a starting point. In this step you also need to define whether it is a hardware- or software-related issue. Step 3: Test the Theory to Determine In step 3 take your theory from step 2 and test it. Back...

...Abstract Technological advances have affected the definition of the right to privacy more than any other right provided for under the Constitution. Technological advances have triggered many privacy right cases imputing infringement of Fourth Amendment rights. Many of these types of privacy infringement cases involve, among others, wire-tapping, internet-tapping and other cyber crimes. The Fourth Amendment essentially protects the privacy of individuals from unwarranted govermental intrusion. This paper compares and contrast public safety versus civil rights issues based on the impact of technological advances on individual privacy rights. Lost in the Matrix Introduction Technological advances have created ground-breaking ways in which individual privacy can be infringed upon. These innovative technological advances have, among other novel affects, increased the ability to gather and share information. This increased ability has nearly made it impossible to retain privacy. Database systems have become so advanced that much more information can be stored on these databases worldwide leaving individuals with no method of knowing or controlling what type of information about themselves are being accessed. Information privacy has become a major privacy rights issue in the criminal justice system. This paper compares and contrast public safety versus civil rights issues based on the impact of technological advances on individual privacy rights. Privacy Rights Laws ...

Unfortunately, business has been steadily declining over the last five years. Although your grandfather was an expert at running the coffee shop, it is outdated. There are no computers in the store and all ordering takes place manually. Your grandfather had a terrific memory and knew all of his customers by name, but unfortunately, none of this information is located anywhere in the store. The family recipes for the baked goods and soups are also stored in your grandfather’s memory. Inventory is tracked in a note pad, along with employee payroll, and marketing coupons. The Cafe does not have a Web site, uses very little marketing except word-of-mouth, and essentially still operates the same as it did in 1952. The Broadway Café The Broadway Café is a coffee shop; I inherited from my grandfather. It is located in downtown Richmond. The café was first opened in 1952 by my grandfather and was a local hot spot for many years. The Broadway Café offers different kinds of specialized coffees, teas...

Answer: Nike’s Core Marketing Strategy: Nike's excellence marketing strategies are their energy to achieve their market goals. Nike believes the "pyramid influence" that the preferences of a small percentage of top athletes influence the product and brand choice. So Nike contracted with many athletes' spokesperson, professional teams and college athletic teams to advertise and promote their products to customers. One renowned example of Nike marketing strategy is during 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Nike received special permission from the International Olympic Committee to run Nike ads featuring Olympic athletes during the games. In addition, Nike sponsored several teams and athletes, including most of the Chinese teams’ and11 of 12 high profile members on the US men’s basketball teams. Nike seriously pays attention on the technology producing, design and selling such as e-commerce, high-tech running shoes, Nike+ with Apple, etc. Nike outsourcing their products most of the factories are located in Asia such as China, Indonesia and India.

...A comparison of healthcare systems James C. Meredith Strayer University A comparison of healthcare systems Monitoring Systems Advances in technology have given us the ability to monitor patients with wireless sensor networks attached miniature monitoring devices. This allows for continuous monitoring of the patients, and provide various types of data critical for each patient. A BSN can even alert medical staff of any event taking place with a given patient. “Body Sensor Networks (BSN) incorporates context aware sensing for increased sensitivity and specificity.” Unfortunately data collection and monitoring in real time takes a lot of continuous labor and effort, just as well these methods are very much prone to perpetual errors. A solution was proposed to use sensors of various medical equipment so that they could intercommunicate with each other and give each other required information to function properly with less effort on the staff’s part. The data the machines provide and exchange can be stored, and monitored within network cloud where a professional can keep track of the goings on and relay the necessary information to the medical professionals. These ideas can be time and lifesaving in the event of a doctor’s office or hospital visit. As opposed to medical staff having to check vitals, conditions and various other medical visit requirements, this cannot only provide more accurate information, it can free up time for medical staff to take care of other patients...
