VARIOUS WAYS TO CONNECT TO
A NETWORKBy Samuel coghlan-white (M1)
ETHERNET (WIRED ACCESS) Ethernet is way of connecting to a Local area
network It is used to connect a group of computers together
using wired internet, this allows data to be sent easily over the network
They use a non wireless network interface card They are used to connect bridges and switches to
create a large working LAN They used IEEE 802.11 technology
WIRELESS Wireless internet is way of accessing the internet
without using a Ethernet cable It can be used to create a wireless local area
network with a wireless router based on IEEE 802.11 standards Any device with a wireless NIC can use “Wi-Fi”
however most mobile devices such as phones or tablets can do this
W-fi is less secure because they do not need a Ethernet cable to access the network so people can access the network if they are in range
A WLAN can be as big as its highest capacity and its range
3G 3G is the third generation of mobile
telecommunications technology 3G is used by mobile devices to connect to the
internet when there is no internet access On the phone network O2, the speed of 3G is 2.9
Mb/s. This is higher then the average speed of 1.8 Mb/s
4G 4G is the new forth generation of mobile
telecommunications technology New products that originally uses 3G
now have been upgraded to use 4G such as apples “iPad air”
4G is being record as 5-7 times faster then 3G, this means it can be used for more such as streaming media
