16-4 LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Describe the different wireless network categories 2. Explain the different wireless network business applications 3. Identify the benefits and challenges of business mobility
16-5 WIRELESS NETWORK CATEGORIES
16-6 Personal Area Network O Personal area networks (PAN) - Provide communication over a short distance that is intended for use with devices that are owned and operated by a single user O Bluetooth - Wireless PAN technology that transmits signals over short distances between cell phones, computers, and other devices
16-7 Wireless LAN O Wireless LAN (WLAN) - A local area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data over distances of a few hundred feet O Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) - A means by which portable devices can connect wirelessly to a local area network, using access points that send and receive data via radio waves
16-8 Wireless LAN O Access point – The computer or network device that serves an as interface between devices and the network O Wireless access point – Enables devices to connect to a wireless network to communicate with each other O Multiple-in/multiple-out technology – Receives greater amounts of data than traditional networking devices
16-9 Wireless MAN O Wireless MAN (WMAN) - A metropolitan area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data
16-10 Wireless MAN O Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) - A communications technology aimed at providing high-speed wireless data over metropolitan area networks
16-11 Wireless WAN - Cellular O Wireless WAN (WWAN) - A wide area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data
16-12 Wireless WAN - Cellular O Smart phone - Offer more advanced computing ability and connectivity than basic cell phones O 3G - A service that brings wireless broadband to mobile phones O Streaming – A method of sending audio and video files over the Internet
16-13 Wireless WAN - Satellite O Satellite - A space station that orbits the Earth receiving and transmitting signals from Earth- based stations over a wide area
16-14 BUSINESS APPLICATIONS OF WIRELESS NETWORKS O Areas experiencing tremendous growth using wireless technologies include
16-15 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) O Radio frequency identification (RFID) - Uses electronic tags and labels to identify objects wirelessly over short distances
16-16 Global Positioning System O Global positioning system (GPS) - A satellite- based navigation system providing extremely accurate position, time, and speed information O Automatic vehicle location (AVL) – Uses GPS tracking to track vehicles O Latitude - Represents a north/south measurement of position O Longitude - Represents an east/west measurement of position
16-17 Global Positioning System O Geocache - A GPS technology adventure game that posts the longitude and latitude location for an item on the Internet for users to find O Geocoin - A round coin-sized object uniquely numbered and hidden in geocache O Estimated time of arrival (ETA) - The time of day of an expected arrival at a certain destination and is typically used for navigation applications O Estimated time enroute (ETE) - The time remaining before reaching a destination using the present speed and is typically used for navigation applications
16-18 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) O Geographic information system (GIS) - Consists of hardware, software, and data that provide location information for display on a multidimensional map
16-19 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) O Cartography - The science and art of making an illustrated map or chart O Edge matching (warping, rubber sheeting) - Occurs when paper maps are laid edge to edge and items that run across maps but do not match are reconfigured to match O GIS map automation - Links business assets to a centralized system where they can be tracked and monitored over time
16-20 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) O Spatial data (geospatial data or geographic information) - Identifies the geographic location of features and boundaries on Earth, such as natural or constructed features, oceans, and more O Geocoding - A spatial databases coding process that assigns a digital map feature an attribute that serves as a unique ID or classification
16-21 Geographic Information Systems (GIS) O Location based services (LBS) - Applications that use location information to provide a service
16-22 BENEFITS OF BUSINESS MOBILITY
16-23 BENEFITS OF BUSINESS MOBILITY O Enhance mobility O Provides immediate data access O Increases location and monitoring capability O Improves work flow O Provides mobile business opportunities O Provides alternative to wiring
16-24 CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS MOBILITY
16-25 CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS MOBILITY O Protecting against theft O Protecting wireless connections O Preventing viruses on a mobile device O Addressing privacy concerns with RFID and LBS
16-26 CHALLENGES OF BUSINESS MOBILITY O Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) - An encryption algorithm designed to protect wireless transmission data O War chalking - The practice of tagging pavement with codes displaying where Wi-Fi access is available O War driving - Deliberately searching for Wi-Fi signals while driving by in a vehicle
