...Network Design Project Intruction Kudler Fine Foods is making steps to inhanse the existing network, including wireless technology. These changes are being provided to improve the comuunication links between the stores and all employees. We will be implementing new technologies to automate inventory managment by creating orders of products from the transactions at the POS. The VOIP phones will be repalced with wireless VOIP phones and will allow for the employees to take calls as they provide servieces for their costumers. The improvements in network security will provide real time monitoring. Timeline The redesign of the Kudler Fine Foods will be an extreme undertaking. We will need three months to fully reconfigure the network. Since each store will have to have new cable and equipment run throughout, the downtime for each location will be minimul. In the network closet the new router will be installed, along with the two new switches. The Cat 6 Ethernet has to be run from this closet to each access point. The two servers will need to be backed up and the data will be uploaded to the new servers. A wireless access point will be added to the network and the printers and VOIP phones will be configured. While the store is closed, all the user devices will be connected to the new ports and the network will be connected to the inetnet. Design Approach and Rationale My approach to the design of this network starts with security and usablilty. The network most be fast, reliable...

...Wireless Technologies Introduction As wireless technology has begun to mature, the demand for wireless products has increased as new applications for the technology are realized. One application for wireless technology at the U.S. Naval Academy is to use the wireless capability to enhance classroom instruction. Currently the Electrical Engineering and Physics Departments have wireless access points and wireless laptops/desktops available for classroom instruction. The purpose of this report is to provide the technical research necessary to aid decision makers in determining which wireless technologies the Naval Academy should invest. Background In a wireless network, computers communicate with the network through a radio path vice a cable. The device that contains the radio and connects to the wired network is called the “Access Point”. Each client that communicates with the access point must have a wireless PCMCIA card. Once both devices communicate via radio transmission, network access can begin. Each client is configured to communicate with a single access point. A client can move from one access point to another. Roaming from access point to access point (cell to cell), similar to cellular telephone technology, is possible. Technology Discussion There are three wireless technology standards on the market today: Bluetooth, 802.11b, and 802.11a. A new standard, 802.11g, was recently approved by IEEE and products using this technology are expected...

...Wi-Fi ( /ˈwaɪfaɪ/, also spelled Wifi or WiFi) is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly (using radio waves) over a computer network, including high-speed Internet connections. The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards".[1] However, since most modern WLANs are based on these standards, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym for "WLAN". A device that can use Wi-Fi (such as a personal computer, video game console, smartphone, tablet, or digital audio player) can connect to a network resource such as the Internet via a wireless network access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors. Hotspot coverage can comprise an area as small as a single room with walls that block radio waves or as large as many square miles — this is achieved by using multiple overlapping access points. "Wi-Fi" is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and the brand name for products using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. Only Wi-Fi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" designation and trademark. Wi-Fi has had a checkered security history. Its earliest encryption system, WEP, proved easy to break. Much higher quality protocols, WPA and WPA2, were...

...Computer hardware is no longer a major barrier to wide use of wireless information systems. Wireless technology is evolving and becoming the preferred choice for connecting hardware and transferring information. Employing a wireless system allows corporations, like cruise ships, to provide a wireless service to its passengers without comprising information security. Without wireless technology this service would be impossible. To set up a basic wireless network, you will need a network card/adapter, a wireless router, and access points. The network card is the most important hardware component of wireless networking. The wireless router and access points are used to increase performance, accommodate more computers, and increase the network’s range. Network adapters are used to interface a computer to a network. They can be found as a traditional PCI card, PC Card adapter, USB adapter, media adapter, or an integrated wireless adapter chip. A wireless router allows multiple devices to access one internet connection. Through radio frequencies, data is transferred between devices connected to the network. Access points serve as the central receiver and transmitter of these radio frequencies. Other factors to consider when setting up a wireless network are compatibility, expenses, limitations due to distance and building structure, and Wi-Fi network security. Wireless network technology, also referred to as WLANs, uses an industry standard known as IEEE 802.11 that...

...Wireless Wide Area Networks: Trends and Issues Wireless Wide Area Networks: Trends and Issues Mobile computing devices are getting smaller and more powerful, while the amount of information is growing astronomically. As the demand for connecting these devices to content-rich networks rises, WWAN technology seems like the perfect answer. But today's wireless WANs have some limitations. This white paper discusses those limitations and how NetMotion™ overcomes them. · Specialized equipment and custom applications were needed for deployment over these proprietary wireless systems. · Often the wireless infrastructures themselves were difficult to deploy. · Only a small percentage of the working population was mobile, so corporations considered wireless data deployment a significant investment with little return. Why the resurgence of interest in wireless data networking technologies now? In the late twentieth century, a few interesting social and technological developments took place. In the late 1990's, businesses began seeing the economic benefit of having employees who work away from their campuses. These remote (and sometimes nomadic) workers needed access to everyday corporate information to do their jobs. Providing workers with remote connectivity became a growing challenge for the information staff. Handheld and pocket-sized computers became powerful enough to be useful. The convergence of Internet networking technologies made IP the de facto standard. New standards such...

...Wireless Communications Paper Wireless communication involves the transmission of data from one point to another without the need to run cabling in-between. Although it seems relatively new to the end user today, it has surprisingly been around for longer than you may think dating back to the late 1800’s. The first wireless technology discovered was the Radio Frequency (RF signal). Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were two inventors that played a huge role in developing the RF technology we still use today. By conducting many experiments using wireless technology they together came up with the RF signal that was first implemented in WWII by the US Military. It wasn’t until the 1970s’ that the first ‘wireless network’ was developed called ALOHAnet. This new wireless network was made to communicate from island to island is Hawaii. Using LAN technologies and a 400 MHz frequency band ALOHAnet was the predecessor of many wireless technologies to come. Today we have many wireless technologies that are used for many different types of services. If you’ve used Bluetooth technology then you’ve used a Personal Area Network (PAN). A PAN network is intended for short ranges and typically controlled and used by a single person. If you’ve connected to the internet at work, a coffee shop, work, or at school then you’ve connected to part of a Wide Area Network (WAN) configured into a Local Area Network (LAN). Most people know a typical WAN by the name of WIFI, even though that’s just a business...
