What Is A aComputer?
A computer is an electronic device,operating under the control of instructions(software) stored in its own memory unit,
that can accept data (input), manipulatedata (process), and produce information(output) from the processing. Generally, the
term is used to describe a collection ofdevices that function together as a system.

Data and Information
All computer processing requires data, which is acollection of raw facts, figures and symbols, such asnumbers, words, images, video and sound, given tothe computer during the input phase.
Computers manipulate data to create information.Information is data that is organized, meaningful,and useful.
During the output Phase, the information that has
been created is put into some form, such as a printedreport.
The information can also be put in computer storagefor future use.

How Does a Computer Knowwhat to do?
It must be given a detailed list of instructions,called a compute program orsoftware, that
tells it exactly what to do. Before processing a specific job, the computer
program corresponding to that job must bestored in memory.
Once the program is stored in memory thecompute can start the operation by executing theprogram instructions one after the other.

Amount of RAM In
ComputersThe amount of memory in computers is typicallymeasured in kilobytes or megabytes. One kilobyte(K or KB) equals approximately 1,000 memorylocations and one megabyte (M or MB) equals
approximately one million locations A memorylocation, or byte, usually stores one character.
Therefore, a computer with 8 MB of memory canstore approximately 8 million characters. One
megabyte can hold approximately 500 pages oftext information.

Now the term is used to describe modern
wireless connections such as those in cellularnetworks and wireless broadband Internet. Inmodern usage, wireless is a method of
communication that uses low-powered radiowaves to transmit data between devices. Wireless refers to communication without
cables or cords, chiefly using radio frequency
and infrared waves.

Disadvantages of extranet
Extranets can be expensive to implement and maintain withinan organization (e.g.: hardware, software, employee trainingcosts)
Security of extranets can be a big concern when dealing with
valuable information. System access needs to be carefullycontrolled to avoid sensitive information falling into the wronghands.
Extranets can reduce personal contact (face-to-face meetings)with customers and business partners. This could cause a lack
of connections made between people and a company, whichhurts the business when it comes to loyalty of its businesspartners and customers.

Wi max
Wi MAX is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.The IEEE standard for WiMAX is 802.16 and falls under the
category of wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN).WiMAX operates on two frequency bands, 2 - 11GHz and 10 -66GHz and has a range of about 50km with speeds of up to
80Mbps.
This enables smaller wireless LANs to be interconnected by WiMAXcreating a large wireless MAN. Networking between cities can beachieved without the need for expensive cabling.
It is also able to provide high speed wireless broadband access tousers. As it can operate in two frequency bands WiMAX canwork by line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight.

Bluetooth is a radio standard and communications protocolprimarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range(power class dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, 100 meters) basedaround low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.
Bluetooth lets these devices communicate with each other whenthey are in range. The devices use a radio communicationssystem, so they do not have to be in line of sight of each other,and can even be in other rooms, so long as the receivedtransmission is powerful enough.
How it all started
-
8/14/2019 Mod Three Computer Basics
127/147
The Bluetooth specification was first developed in 1994 by JaapHaartsen, who was working for Ericsson Radio Systems locatedin Emmen in The Netherlands. The specifications wereformalized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). TheSIG was formally announced on May 20, 1998.
Today it has over 1800 companies worldwide. It was established
by Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Toshiba and Nokia, andlater joined by many other companies as Associate or Adoptermembers. Bluetooth is also known as IEEE 802.15.1.

Wi-Fi is an acronym for Wireless Fidelity
IEEE 802.11 standard forwireless local areanetworks (WLAN)
Wi-Fi was intended to be used for mobile
devices and LANs, but is now often used forInternet access. Other wi fi standards are 802.11a, 802.11b
and 802.11g
Wi Fi: How it works
-
8/14/2019 Mod Three Computer Basics
131/147
Setup requires Wi Fi hotspots composed of many
access points(AP). AP broadcasts its SSID(service set identifier) via
packets called beacons every 100 ms at 1 mbps.
Based on settings of SSID, the client decideswhether to connect to an AP.
Based on the signal strength, the firmware on theclient wi fi card decides to which AP it will connect.
Wifi standard allows the connection criteria

and roaming totally open to the client.
Feature called Zero Configuration available inWindows XP shows any N/W available to theuser & lets the user connect to it on the fly i.e.
it controls the roaming criteria. Wi Fi has the same properties as an Ethernet

139/147
Wi Fi uses unlicensed radio spectrum &doesnt require regulatory approval for
individual deployers. Reduces the cost of N/W deployment and
Expansion.
Wi Fi products support roaming. Many access points & N/W interfaces support
various degrees of encryption to protect
traffic from interception. Wi-Fi is a global set of standards.
Disadvantages of Wi Fi Wi Fi uses the unlicensed 2 4 GHz spectrum
-
8/14/2019 Mod Three Computer Basics
140/147
Wi Fi uses the unlicensed 2.4 GHz spectrum,which is also used by other technologies likeBluetooth, microwave ovens, cordlessphones. Thus causes degradation inperformance.
Power consumption is fairly high compared tosome other standards.
Wi Fi N/Ws have limited range. A typical wi fi
home router using 802.11b/802.11g mighthave a range of45 m(150 ft) indoors & 90m(300ft) outdoors.
Technical Advantages of WiMAXover Wi Fi
