...Wireless Technology BIS/221 Wireless Technology Technology has greatly evolved in the past 10 years. There was a time when a paper back book was more common than a cellular or wireless device. Today, however, wireless device are more and more common and are pretty much a must have. Wireless devices simplify how we perform daily task by being easier to access because we can carry these items with us. A few wireless devices that have made my life easier are my wireless printer, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a few wireless household products. Wireless technology has also allowed disabled individuals to enjoy activities that they normally cannot enjoy. The use of a wireless printer has made it easier to print documents either from my wireless computer or my cell phones. I no longer have to go into the computer room to complete these task. I honestly no longer need a computer room; because I have a wireless computer and printer I no longer have to be in a designated area to complete homework or perform task on the computer. I can now do those things from anywhere in my home. Wi-Fi has also made in possible to surf the web on my computer from anywhere there is a Wi-Fi connected. The use of Wi-Fi has eliminated the need to use cellular data in turn lowering my cell phone bill. The use of GPS has also made it easier to navigate to unfamiliar places by enabling me to easily get direction either from the GPS on my cell phone or a dedicated GPS device...

...Wireless Communications are very important in our daily lives. Practically everywhere we turn we can see someone working away on a laptop, an iPad, or some other form of wireless PDA. This form of communication is usually used for personal and professional reasons. There are four main types of wireless technology in play here. The four types of wireless technology is Wi-Fi, Cellular, Bluetooth and WiMAX (Cox, 2013). Wi-Fi is the most popular form of wireless technology that we come to depend on today. Wi-Fi uses IEEE 802.11 specifications to provide secure network connections at home, in the office and in the public at places like libraries, coffee houses. Many business offices have Wi-Fi set up so that their employees can be more mobile using laptops they can retreat from their desk and in to a conference room for a quiet space to work. Wi-Fi connection within a network presents challenges for any IT group with regard to security as well as architecture of the network. Many wireless Routers and AP’s are designed to provide quick speeds and secure connection for Wi-Fi some more powerful than others. Many PDA devices are being designed to act as a hot spot, providing Wi-Fi access to laptops and other devices. This brings me to speak about Cellular technology. When we think of cellular technology, we mostly think about being on the go and needing to make a phone call with a wireless phone. Cellular signals use connected transmitters or cells as Michael Cox calls them to...

...With the drastic increase in new technology this past century, I am sure that many people have pondered the question: “I wonder what new technology is going to be part of our lives in the next 10 years or so?” Wireless communications is the one particular technology that has always fascinated me. The convenience and mass usage of cordless phones, cell phones, wireless networking, GPS or navigation systems have always captured my attention. A few years ago I first heard of the name Bluetooth. Along with the interesting name, a “futuristic” scenario was embossed in my memory whereby a cell phone would communicate with one’s fridge at home and then notify the owner that the milk-supply was running low. This may seem a little far-fetched but it may very well be a reality and a standard in a few decades. Bluetooth’s primary purpose is to enable short-range wireless voice and data communications anywhere in the world. The way Bluetooth actually works by allowing users to connect to a wide range of telecommunication and computer devices without cables, namely mobile phones, portable computers, personal handheld devices, as well as connection to the Internet (bluetooth.com, ‘how it works’). In the following, I will further explain what, how and where Bluetooth works and what the potential use of this new technology is. The Bluetooth name comes from a Scandinavian king Harald Blatand, where “Blatand” is translated to “Blue Tooth” (Miller Michael, page 26). This king was known for uniting...

...Wireless Signals Raquel Barthelmes IT/242 September 30, 2012 Randy Guin Abstract This is a short study of the different types of wireless technologies in common use today. This study will touch on only four types, although there are actually numerous types fulfilling many different uses. Wireless Signals Introduction In the world today, we have begun to rely heavily on various new technologies. Everything from the way our vehicles run to being able to spy remotely on our own houses can be done with the advances made in technology in the last few decades. One of the newest and most frequently used advances today is those that have been made in wireless technology, although that in itself is by no means new. The very first completely wireless system was patented by a man named Marconi in 1897(JPL’s Website, 1995), and a new future in communication was conceived. There are currently numerous wireless technologies available around the world which enable many tasks to be completed more quickly than ever before. From networking to opening a garage door, wireless technology has invaded the every-day lives of billions of people. Businesses are able to employ people to work remotely from home on a scale never before seen, which brings us to the first type of wireless technology I will outline here: Networking. Networking Wireless networking is perhaps the most commonly used type of wireless technology, primarily because every...

...Introduction We have been hired to deploy a wireless network for Citizens First National Bank. We are going to design, test and deploy this network. Banks have been slow to adapt this technology because if the high security standards they must follow. Since security has been improved and the benefits are so great more and more companies are starting to deploy wireless networks. It the next couple pages I will go through the scope of the project along with the goals and requirements. There are some initial testing that we have to get down and setup so auditors will be able to test before we can deploy to all branches. By using auditors it helps protect the bank with a paper trail incase an incident ever happened. This would show that we have followed all requirements and made every possible attempt to protect our customers and employees. We will have 60 days to setup and test before we have to purchase equipment. This should provide plenty of time to get a location up and running and have their auditors in to do testing. After initial testing we will then put a plan in place to bring all branches online one at a time while sticking to the budget. Scope and Goals Scope The major driving force of this project is to add a wireless infrastructure to the entire bank that would allow seamless use between all branches, while maintaining the high security standards that the FCC requires to help protect the customers and employees of the bank. The details of the...
