wireless networks. While this technology has the advantages of providing greater user mobility and temporary access, it does have the disadvantage of an intrinsic lack of security. SECURITY THREATS There are a number of types of attack that wireless LANs are vulnerable to, based on different aspects of their operation and configuration. These include. i. Broadcast medium Wireless is a broadcast medium, where there is no way to control where the information is sent and who therefore has access

it would also support a large range of devices and applications and would also offer centralized network management services. WIFI would also be a great asset due to its mobility. Wi-Fi is ideal due to not having any cables, which is basically wired LAN. The wifi wireless technology would provide an Internet connection giving users access to a small geographical perimeter giving about 100 feet access. This type of service would allow us to communicate wirelessly, mobile devices such As laptops and

type of networking mode would enable the system to utilize both the wireless components, as well as the wired components. By doing this, the network could utilize the WLAN for most of its networking needs, while still having the capability to merge a LAN into this WLAN design. Deployment Scenario Rationale I decided to go with the infrastructure networking mode due to the physical limitations within the Customer Service Call Center’s floor design, since the infrastructure format would allow

instead of the radio towers antenna sending the bits to the Telco network it sends the bits to the internet. This is all capable because the mobile phones do not use copper or fiber cables to transmit bits they use wireless radio technology. Wireless LAN requires that every device connected to the network to have wireless NIC (network interface card). Wireless NIC’s do not need a socket to allow connection with a cable. Rather it has a radio antenna inside for the NIC to send and receive data. WLAN

My field of study is Network Systems Administrations. I am most interested in networking technology. I currently understand very little about networking, which is to say I understand the functionality but not how it works. The topic I chose was Home-linking Technology. The article I read was “Dual Band Router leverages 802.11ac wireless standard.” from the Product News Network. The article started by describing the speed of the new 802.11ac router. Equipped with the Broadcom 5 GHz WI-Fi chip
