|
How facilities wire their structures for computer/internet needs:
INTERNET CONNECTION TYPES (to the outside): - ISDN and DSL (slower) or - T-1, DS3, or T-3 WIRING TYPES ARE: - category 5 (Cat 5), 100 mpbs - Category 6 (Cat 6), 4 billion bits per second (Gbps) - Fiber optic (speed of light) |
|
|
What is a wireless network?
What else is it called? |
Can activate an area rather than going to the location and wiring it. Large savings in staff and convenience.
- IEEE 802.11b,g,n (b, g, n are different levels. n is most recent, can be faster than wired, goes about 100'+) - Bluetooth newest and untested for meetings, goes about 30' multiple applications AKA: WiFi |
