...4G Wireless Network | Compare and Contrast 3G Wireless Networks to 4G Networks 3G networks allow people to have high speed access to data and voice services, they are essentially a high-speed mobile Internet, that can offer speeds of up to 3.1 megabits per second (Mbps) or more. This speed is around the same speeds offered by earlier sellers of cable modems. However, depending on where you are and how many users there are, the actual speed of 3G networks will fluctuate. Even though 3G is still more commonly used, the recently introduced 4G networks have quickly become the standard for wireless communication. The 4G networks are 4-10 times faster than 3G protocols and are ideal for watching streaming videos or movies, and offer more security, unlike a Wi-Fi connection. We can compare and contrast 3G wireless networks and 4G networks in four areas: service and application, network architecture, data throughput and user perceptions. The following standards are typically branded 3G: CDMA2000, UMTS, and EDGE. Whereas 4G wireless is the term used to describe the fourth-generation of wireless service such as WiMax and LTE. Although 4G is a step up from 3G, the limited coverage that is the present 4G market keeps 3G as the frontrunner in wireless protocols being used by the public. While all 4G service is called "4G," the underlying technology is different. Sprint, for example, uses WiMax technology for its 4G network, while Verizon Wireless uses a technology called Long Term...

...Appendix J Wireless Network Plan Use the following outline to create your wireless network plan. Fill in each section of the plan as required. Deployment Scenario The best deployment scenario for this particular situation would be the infrastructure setup. This type of networking would allow the system to utilize both the wireless and wired components. This would also enable the network to utilize the WLAN for the majority of its networking needs, while still having the capability to merge a LAN into this WLAN design if needed. Deployment Scenario Rationale I went with the infrastructure networking mode due to the physical limitations within the Customer Service Call Center’s floor design. The Call Centers floor plan would allow the wireless access points to communicate with other wireless access points that are out of wireless coverage reach. For areas that are not considered mobile or require a higher level of security, the use of a wired connection can be used; while still allowing the wireless portion of the network to connect to the wired segment. What this means is, it provides a way for the wireless access points to communicate with the rest of the network, which is vital for connecting multiple wireless access points, as well as connecting a WLAN to a LAN if needed or requested. Hardware Components • Component Name: Access Point o Rationale for using component: The use of five wireless access points are needed, so wireless coverage can...

...by Jack Gold | | Many companies have deployed some form of mobile email for the workforce as their first foray into wireless applications. Yet some are still hesitant to deploy applications that enable connectivity to back-office systems. Despite the maturity and success of most email deployments, companies are still highly cautious when looking at more complex applications. They worry about complexity, deployment costs, security, user reluctance to work on small devices, and -- having been unsuccessful in early implementations -- they are often gun-shy about trying again. Yet this reluctance to deploy applications is outmoded thinking. Forward-thinking companies are deploying mobile applications in a short time, at reasonable cost, and often on existing infrastructure. And they are reaping significant gains in end-user productivity and business efficiency. Enterprises wishing to deploy mobile solutions to the workforce should start with a strategic plan that focuses on what the users need to get their jobs done, the kinds of infrastructure that are already in place and can be leveraged, and how business needs will change over the next few years. This last component of a mobile strategy is particularly important because it will determine not only what gets implemented now but what degree of flexibility will be required to enhance and improve the applications over time. Failure to take into account the needs of the business in the long term will mean a mobile solution that is...

...Associate Level Material Appendix J Wireless Network Plan Use the following outline to create your wireless network plan. Fill in each section of the plan as required. Deployment Scenario The deployment scenario of the wireless network that I will be using is going to be the infrastructure mode with an Extended Service Set. In the infrastructure setup there will be a wired network as well as a wireless network. Access points, switches, and Ethernet cables will be used in this network to be able to connect a switch to the access point and from one access point to the next. Various access points will be necessary to cover all the areas necessary. I will put a dedicated access point for the Conference Room, one access point for one side of the user stations, one access point for that same side of the stations and offices, and in the other side of the concrete wall one access point for the stations and break room and the other access point for the stations and offices. There will be a wired network running through the offices as well for a wired connection and a wired connection for the conference room as well. The only ones that will be wireless only will be the call center stations. Deployment Scenario Rationale The reason to choose an infrastructure mode is because of the structure of the floor design. The infrastructure mode will allow the access points to communicate with each other through a wired network. While the wired network connects all the access...

...25 1.1 Introduction WiMAX is a wireless digital communications system, also known as IEEE 802.16, that is intended for wireless "metropolitan area networks". WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 - 100m). With WiMAX, WiFi-like data rates are easily supported, but the issue of interference is lessened. WiMAX operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies, providing a regulated environment and viable economic model for wireless carriers. WiMAX can be used for wireless networking in much the same way as the more common WiFi protocol. WiMAX is a second-generation protocol that allows for more efficient bandwidth use, interference avoidance, and is intended to allow higher data rates over longer distances. 1.2 objectives of the study ➢ To know details about the WiMax technology. 1.3 Operational Definition WiMAX- WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless industry coalition dedicated to the advancement of IEEE 802.16 standards for broadband wireless access (BWA) networks. Wireless Internet: The wireless Web refers to use of the World Wide Web through a wireless device, such as a cellular telephone or personal digital assistant (PDA).

With any development, there are always processes and procedures that are necessary to make sure this is completed. With any processes, there is more than one way to accomplish the same desired results. However, with application developments, there are generally certain sets of rules. During research, I found several variations but ultimately, they all lead to the same end results. To begin the process, there are normally about 4-7 phases; the reason for the different number of phases is not because of the lack of work but there are some individuals who would combine phases together. Within each phase, there are specific characteristics that must take place in order to proceed and go to the next phase. The phases are as follows: * Project planning * Systems Analysis * Systems Design * Implementation * Integration and testing * Acceptance and deployment * Maintenance With this methodology there is a framework that should always be followed...
