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

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
