Networking Homework Help: Explain why security is important for WLANs, even more ...

Q)Explain why security is important for WLANs, even more so than for wired networks. 

Sol:

More security is needed and security is very much important in case of wireless LANs, when compared to wired LANs. The main reason behind this is in case of wireless LANs by making use of the wireless authentication of the authorized wireless user any one can make use of it also hacking the wireless network is very easy if it is not password protected. Since in most of the WLANs the users are not protected by a unique password, since wireless LANs are always used in case of places like college campus or office campus where multiple users can access the network. Hence in case of wired LAN there is a need for the dedicated channel or cable through which every user can get connected to the network whereas in case of wireless LANs there is no need for it, sometimes it will not even ask for any security passwords. Hence any user can get connected to the network and use it without paying for it. As a result more security is important for WLAN’s when compared to Wired LAN.

Networking Assignment Help: What specific steps can be taken to improve security in WLANs...

Q)What specific steps can be taken to improve security in WLANs?

Sol:

 The below steps can be taken to improve the security in WLANs:
a) Initially wireless network has to be authorized and authenticated.
b) Also all the users try to get connected to that particular has to be authorized and authenticated.
c) Every user connected to the network has to be uniquely identified by their own unique username and password.
d) Multiple users with same username and password should not be allowed to connect to the network.
e) Every user has to be properly disconnected so that no one in queue must be able to continue to get connected to the network with their username and password.


Think and Answer Assignments: Minicase IV Household Wireless page....

Q)Your sister is building a new two story house which measures 50 feet long by 30 feet wide and wants to network her family’s three computers together. She and her husband are both consultants and work out of their home in the evenings and a few days a month.  Each has a separate office with a computer, plus a laptop from the office that they occasionally use. The kids also have a computer in their playroom. They have several options for networking their home:

a) Wire the two offices and playroom with Ethernet cat5e and put in a 100Base-T switch.

b) Install one Wi-Fi access point ($85) and put Wi-Fi cards in the three computers (the laptops already have Wi-Fi)

c) Any combination of these options

There are many possible solutions to this problem.  What would you recommend, considering their current hardware configuration as well as potential expansion? Justify your recommendation.           

Sol:


The best possible solution is to go for installation of Wi-Fi access points followed by installation of Wi-Fi cards for the desktop computers. Anyways laptops will definitely have Wi-Fi inbuilt so there is no need for separate installation of the cards in laptops. The reason behind this is looking at the future definitely the desktops are getting replaced by laptops. Also laptops are portable, which means we can carry them any where we need but if they are connected to some network cables then we will not be able to access the network wherever we carry the laptops. Also in case of desktops if we place it in 1st floor but tomorrow we need it in the last floor then there is need to work on the network connectivity in it only labor is involved in shifting but network connectivity is always there since it is independent of the location within the office campus or two story house limits. Hence the recommendation here is to go for Wi-Fi connection.

Q)There is an ever growing range of physical media being offered such as fiber, coax, satellite, IP over power lines, a number of wireless technologies, and more. Recently, the telephone companies announced 4G wireless communications and the IEEE has WiMax at Gigabit rates. What criteria would you use to select technologies for your business and for your home?
Sol:
The following are the criteria being used to select technologies for my business:
a) Multiple connections with maximum speed.
b) Higher bandwidth with lesser price.
c) Unlimited downloads with no additional charges.
d) Unlimited access within the coverage area irrespective of the machines being used.
e) Full time high speed networks without any congestion.

The following are the criteria being used to select technologies for my home:
a) Not more than two connections at a time.
b) Very lesser cost, irrespective of download limits.
c) Limited access but reduction in the monthly bill.
d) Moderate speed and bandwidth, irrespective of the congestion.
e) Lesser monthly rentals provided there are additional charges for download if it crosses the available limit.


General Assignment Help: How to define a portfolio of Outsourced information technologies services...

Q) How to define a portfolio of Outsourced information technologies services??

Sol: 
Portfolio of Outsourced Information Technologies services can be defined as identifying and understanding the customer requirements, also providing a way to communicate the value that the IT organization delivers to the business. The portfolio of IT services also allows the IT organization to say to the business, “Here is what we deliver to you”. Ultimately, it is the list of what customers ‘buy’ from the IT organization by paying the Organization.


Read and Answer: The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research...

1) The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research
Sol:
The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research is a collaborative centre placed in Perth, Western Australia. They are already achieving research excellence in both astronomical science and engineering. The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research has grown steadily from its launch in September 2009. An equal joint venture between The University of Western Australia and Curtin University, International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research has strong support from the West Australian as well as Australian governments and is working very closely with industry and research partners in Australia and in the entire world. Wireless internet (WIFI) inventor honored Curtin University has been recognized as Dr John O’Sullivan’s ground breaking work in astronomy and wireless technologies by bestowing John with an Honorary Science Doctorate. The latest telescope puts focus on high school discoveries where a new internet telescope was launched by State Education Minister Dr Elizabeth Constable at The Western University of Australia. Also
Sky Noise and Sensitivity Studies of Array Configurations and Antenna Elements were done for the Low-Frequency Band of the SKA.

Questions:
a) What is WIFI?
b) Expand ICRAR?
c) Internet telescope was launched by whom?
d) Who invented wireless internet?

Sol:
a) Wireless internet/wireless LAN.
b) International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research.
c) Dr. Elizabeth.

d) Dr John O’Sullivan

Read and Answer: De-noising sea noise data....

1) De-noising sea noise data
This work presents De-noising sea noise data and also how data from a marine seismic survey, which is highly contaminated by noise, was de-noised through the use of a time-frequency filter. In addition to the present standard work flow designed to remove cavitation noise, strumming noise and swell-noise. We introduce a new approach to track seismic interference. This is done by applying time-frequency de-noising on the slowness that gathers. As a motivation and background for the processing we also explain some of the techniques behind the generation of the many different noise types.

The end story is that even in case low if there is a low quality input data then also it can be turned into high quality seismic sections. Even though the dataset used is only one, the results and its methodologies represented here are considered to be general, and should be definitely applicable to a large number of seismic surveys.


Questions:
a) Name the two components which seismic data consists of? 
b) What is the second problem in this dataset?
c) What is the frequency range of swell noise?
d) What is the frequency range of hydrostatic pressure variation noise?
Sol:
a) signal and a noise component
b) Swell-noise
c) (1-10(15)Hz)

d) (0-1(2)Hz)
