Unit 1: Introduction to Wireless Networks




          wireless  networks  generates  new  research  problems.  This  paper  examines  the  ways  wireless   Notes
          technology work and the required prerequisites to integrate it into the educational area. It also
          describes educational opportunities and challenges of teaching in a real time wireless classroom
          environment. Additionally, this paper refers to the constraints and barriers, which prevent
          wireless networks from being accepted. It provides educational models and techniques in order
          to easier the transition from  traditional computerized  training systems  to wireless  training
          systems. Lastly, the paper compares models and architectures in educational wireless networks,
          taking into consideration the shortages of the educational systems, and predicts future trends
          and perspectives of integrated educational environments.

          1.3.5 Utilities

          Trango microwave communications solutions are ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications
          in the utility, energy, oil & gas sectors. Remote monitoring, video, and site interconnectivity
          applications require low latency, high reliability, and high capacity capability of licensed band
          solutions from Trango Systems.

          Utility  and  energy  providers  require  reliable  networks  to  carry  critical  traffic  with  advanced
          information security, high capacities and failsafe reliability.Trango Systems’ TrangoLINK Sparta
          Elite™ is the most secure microwave Ethernet point to point system on the market, utilizing
          integrated  NSA  Suite  B  compliant  FIPS-197  certified  AES256-GCM  real-time  encryption.  The
          Sparta Elite is also FIPS140-2 and HIPAA compliant, with secure management interfaces over
          SSH, HTTPS.
          In addition to advanced  information security, the Sparta Elite features Intelligent  Payload
          Compression (IPC) which compresses packets in real time to provide capacity improvements up
          to 2.5 x the raw data rate. If the compression does not yield an improvement, the packet will go
          through uncompressed. Latency is typically only increased by 100 microseconds and in the case
          of larger packets may be reduced.
               !

             Caution Compression ratio is content variable and can be monitored using the management
             interface. Both compression and encryption can be used simultaneously.

          1.3.6 Field Service

          A field service organization has five key applications: billing, systems management for remote
          devices,  corporate  IM,  a  Web-based  CRM  application  and  email.  The  field  technicians  carry
          laptops  throughout  the  day,  and  use  them  occasionally  at  home  and  in  a  branch  office.  The
          laptops have a number of background applications which have been installed by the operating
          system, such as Windows Update, or come from third parties, such as automated antivirus or
          printer driver updates.
          The field technicians typically spend 32 hours a week in the field and 8 hours at a regional office.
          While in the field they are connected via a wireless carrier’s data network. At the regional office
          they connect via an in-building wireless LAN.

          1.3.7 Field Sales

          There’s nothing more crucial to your company’s bottom line than sales—and yet your sales force
          may not have the tools they need to be performing at their potential.Ultimately, that means less
          revenue for the company. Not to mention less satisfied customers.
          Wireless software ensures that your sales force stays securely connected to the applications they
          need to answer customer questions, input data into your CRM and make the sale, all right from
          the customer site. This means improved service, more sales, and less travel time for sales reps.
