Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications Technical development and adoption

1 These channels are reserved exclusively for voice communication applications and therefore are less

likely to experience interference from other wireless devices such as baby

monitors and wireless networks.


Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications Features

1 Interference-free wireless operation to around 100 metres (109 yards) outdoors,

much less indoors when separated by walls. Operates clearly in common congested domestic radio traffic situations, for instance, generally

immune to interference from other DECT systems, Wi-Fi networks, video senders,

Bluetooth technology, baby monitors and other wireless devices.


Baby monitor Wired and wireless

1 Wireless systems use radio frequencies that are designated by governments for unlicensed

use. For example, in North America frequencies near 49 MHz, 902 MHz or 2.4 GHz are available. While these frequencies are not

assigned to powerful television or radio broadcasting transmitters, interference from

other wireless devices such as cordless telephones, wireless toys, computer wireless networks, RADAR, Smart Power Meters and

microwave ovens is possible.


Residential gateway Types

1 Wireless routers perform the same functions as a router, but also allow

connectivity for wireless devices with the LAN, or between the wireless

router and another wireless router. (The wireless router-wireless router connection can be within the LAN or

can be between the LAN and a WAN.)


Bluetooth Adopted protocols

1 WAE specifies an application framework for wireless devices and WAP is an open standard to provide mobile users access to telephony

and information services.


Computer network Geographic scale

1 A PAN may include wired and wireless devices


Wi-Fi Standard devices

1 A wireless access point (WAP) connects a group of wireless devices to an adjacent wired LAN. An access

point resembles a network hub, relaying data between connected wireless devices in addition to a (usually) single connected wired

device, most often an Ethernet hub or switch, allowing wireless devices to communicate with other wired

devices.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wireless-devices-toolkit.html


1 Wireless network bridges connect a wired network to a wireless network. A bridge differs from an access point: an access point connects wireless devices

to a wired network at the data-link layer. Two wireless bridges may be used to connect two wired networks over a

wireless link, useful in situations where a wired connection may be unavailable, such as between two separate homes.



1 Wireless devices connected through repeaters will suffer from an

increased latency for each hop, as well as from a reduction in the

maximum data throughput that is available

releasing the appropriate documentation that would allow

developers to write free and open-source device drivers to support Atheros wireless devices without resorting to reverse-engineering


Mass media

1 "Cross-media" means the idea of distributing the same message through different media channels. A similar idea is expressed in the

news industry as "convergence". Many authors understand cross-media publishing to be the ability to publish in both print and on

the web without manual conversion effort. An increasing number of wireless devices with

mutually incompatible data and screen formats make it even more difficult to achieve

the objective “create once, publish many”.

presence of unauthorized, rogue access points and the use of wireless attack tools. The system monitors the radio spectrum used by wireless LANs, and immediately

alerts a systems administrator whenever a rogue access point is detected.

Conventionally it is achieved by comparing the MAC address of the participating

wireless devices.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-wireless-devices-toolkit.html

Wireless Intrusion Detection System - Intrusion detection

1 Rogue devices can Spoofing attack|spoof MAC address of an authorized network device as their own. New

research uses RF fingerprint|fingerprinting approach to weed out

devices with spoofed MAC addresses. The idea is to compare the unique signatures exhibited by the signals

emitted by each wireless device against the known signatures of pre-authorized, known wireless devices.
