WIRELESS NETWORK CATEGORIES
16-6
Personal Area NetworkO 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 LANO 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 LANO 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 MANO Wireless MAN (WMAN) - A
metropolitan area network that uses radio signals to transmit and receive data
16-10
Wireless MANO 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
OSmart phone - Offer more advanced computing ability and connectivity than basic cell phones
O3G - A service that brings wireless broadband to mobile phones
OStreaming – A method of sending audio and video files over the Internet
16-13
Wireless WAN - Satellite
OSatellite - 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 NETWORKSOAreas experiencing tremendous growth
using wireless technologies include
16-15
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
ORadio 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)
OLocation 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 mobilityO Provides immediate data accessO Increases location and monitoring
