...serves as a general outlook of the research. It will provide the background and scope of the study, purpose of the study, the objective as well as the limitations in doing this research. Background of Study Labis started as a small village known as Kampung Paya Merah. The village got its name from a type of river grass which became the favourite food for river terrapins. In early 20th century, British officers came to the villages to survey for new areas to be developed in Segamat district. The British officer was surprised to see the river terrapins since they had not seen those animals before. They asked the villagers the name of those animals and the villagers answered, “labi-labi tuan” and because they did not know the name of those animals the British officers referred to them as Labis in the plural form. Therefore, the British officers decided to name the settlement Labis. Another theory is that in the 17th century, a member of the Malacca royal family was travelling through the area. He saw something that intrigued him. He called out to his advisors to tell him what it was, he went “Habis? Habis?” then accidentally is blurting out the name Labis. Labis is the second largest town in the district of Segamat, Johor with a population of about 20, 000 people and the largest community there is Chinese. Labis is an agricultural town and the main export is rubber. This study is focusing on the impact of wireless technology towards rural areas resident...

...Introduction Wireless internet has now become a way of life. It is all around us. Our society has now moved from the ability of being linked by a cord to access the internet to the availability of accessing the world wide web by using wireless capabilities. The way we receive news and media has changed since the invention of wireless. This technology has become so common that one may rarely think about it at all when using it. The days of plugging up a computer to an Ethernet cord to be connected to the internet has become a thing of the past. Surely this method is of course still used, but it has become a less modern way to connect to the World Wide Web. When you want to see what the weather forecast will be in your area, it is as simple as opening up your phone and punching in your zip code. It has also made the ability for ratings to be gathered for televsision shows using netowrking sites such as twitter and facebook. These sites can be access through wireless on mobile phones (Spangler, 2011). Presently more applications are being developed that allow the use of wireless internet. These applications can be downloaded for celluar phones, tablets, ipads, and ipods. One application that I have used is an application called Kazzam. This application is truly amazing and I has been helpful in several situations. Have you ever heard a song that you loved and could not get it out of your head? Everywhere you go you are always hearing this song and you wonder who is the artist...

...Mobile and wireless technologies have evolved beyond recognition in today’s technology environment. The advent of mobile phones and similar devices has transformed business and social interactions, and Internet access no longer depends on a wired system such as a modem connected to a telephone landline, but rather, it can be achieved using a mobile enabled device whenever and wherever a mobile access point is available. Such access points or hot spots are now widely available in airports, hotels, educational institutions and other public buildings, and increasing numbers of wireless networks are being installed in commercial buildings and private homes. The term "wireless" refers, in the most basic and obvious sense, to communications sent without wires or cables. It is a broad term that encompasses all sorts of wireless technologies and devices, including cellular communications, networking between computers with wireless adapters, and wireless computer accessories. Mobile technology extends computing and the Internet into the wireless medium, and provides greater flexibility in communication, collaboration, and information sharing. Mobile technology, which can support computing on the move using portable devices through wireless networks (Varshney and Vetter, 2000; Malladi and Agrawal, 2002), has emerged as the next wave in IT revolution. Mobile technology includes technological infrastructure for connectivity such as Wireless Application...

...Term paper of computer networking (Design wireless network) x.y.z. Abstract: this document tells us about wireless network and various techniques to design a computer wireless network Keywords—wireless networks, connecting devices, switches, hubs. [pic] Campus network A campus network is a computer network made up of an interconnection of local area networks (LANs) within a limited geographical area. The networking equipments (switches, routers) and transmission media (optical fiber, copper plant, Cat5 cabling etc) are almost entirely owned (by the campus tenant / owner: an enterprise, university, government etc). In the case of a university campus-based campus network, the network is likely to link a variety of campus buildings including; academic departments, the university library and student residence halls. [pic] | | | | Introduction A computer network allows sharing of resources and information among devices connected to the network. The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) funded the design of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) for the United States Department of Defence. It was the first operational computer network in the world. Development of the network began in 1969, based on designs developed during the 1960s. For a history see ARPANET, the first network .

...provide a thematic overview as well as a comparative analysis of the development role of mobile computing. In exploring the evidence from completed projects as well as the foci of new projects, the paper summarizes and critically assesses the key findings and suggests possible avenues for future research. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION The fusion of computer and telecommunication technologies has heralded the age of information superhighway over wire-line and wireless networks. Mobile cellular communication systems and wireless networking technologies are growing at an ever-faster rate, and this is likely to continue in the foreseeable future. Wireless technology is presently being used to link portable computer equipment to corporate distributed computing and other sources of necessary information. Wide-area cellular systems and wireless LANs promise to make integrated networks a reality and provide fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile communications, thus bringing an end to the tyranny of geography. Higher reliability, better coverage and services, higher capacity, mobility management, power and complexity for channel acquisition, handover decisions, security management, and wireless multimedia are all parts of the potpourri. Further increases in network security are necessary before the promise of mobile telecommunication can be fulfilled. Safety and security management against fraud,...
