Summary of the main points of the entire paper
Wireless technology is nowadays used to solve business problems. In fact, business people use it for competitive advantage purposes over their competitors. HP solutions offer wireless technology that is capable of making remote or mobile workers use information and business applications from any destination. This technology has enabled mobile professionals to be productive and better satisfy their customers (Hewlett-Packard, 2006). This often results into generation of more sales.
Use of wireless Local Area Network, LAN, brings more flexibility with regard to configuring an office. This improves productivity. It also makes office workers collaborate. This gives HP some competitive edge over her competitors because of the value that is created for the customers (Hewlett-Packard, 2006). All these undertakings can be achieved in a cost effective and secure manner. Standard-based technologies that have been developed help in authentication and securing of devices. This ensures that only authorized users can access these networks (Hewlett-Packard, 2006).
This wireless technology paper seeks to address wireless technologies that HP offers. The paper will outline HP's background including its primary products and services, location and history. Some effort will be devoted to how the technologies are used, advantages of using each of the technologies, ease of signal transmission, degree of security protection, and current availability of the technology (Hewlett-Packard, 2006). The paper will finally rate each of the technologies on a scale of 1-5 using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Summary of main points of the entire paper will also be done.
Background of the organization including its primary products and services, location, and history
HP was founded by William Redington Hewlett and Dave Packard in Palo Alto, California in 1939. It is an American multinational...
The company develops and manufactures computing, data storage, networking hardware, designing software, and delivery of consulting services. They design, implement, and support IT infrastructure. Some of the wireless technologies that HP currently offers include Bluetooth wireless technology that is synonymous with HP notebooks and HP printers, Wireless LAN, Mobile Broadband, Wi-Fi, Wireless WAN.
How each of the technologies is used
Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled devices form network topologies called piconets and scatternets. Eight Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled devices make a piconet. Upon establishment of a piconet, one device sets a frequency hopping pattern. This device is called a primary device. Other devices are called secondary devices. Each piconet has a unique frequency-hopping pattern that differentiates its signals from the signals generated from other piconets (Hewlett-Packard, 2004). A scatternet is made up of two or more piconets linked by a common Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled device.
The presence Bluetooth devices on HP notebooks can be done by selecting the start button in the lower-left corner of the screen. On the control panel select hardware tab, then device manager button where Bluetooth devices will be shown (Hewlett-Packard, 2004). The BWT-enabled notebook PC is activated by first installing the BWT Software, enabling BTW functionality, and finally setting up BTW software. For the printers like HP 995c Deskjet printer and HP 450 Deskjet printer, the printer software is installed in the notebook then My Bluetooth places selected to manage the Bluetooth Wireless Technology, BWT, printer connection. The same process can also be followed for iPAQ with 802.11 technologies (Hewlett-Packard, 2004).
Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN, links two or more devices using a wireless distribution method. Connection is made to the wider network through an access point. The users can move around within the coverage area. This technology is marketed under Wi-Fi brand name and is based on IEEE 802.11 standards (Hewlett-Packard, 2006).
Wireless Wide Area Network, WWAN, uses mobile telecommunication cellular network technologies like WiMAX,…

Wireless Technology Is Difficult to Connect To Other Parts of Information Systems There are many challenging aspects to even the most fundamental system and process integration tasks within organizations that have standardized on a common platform. When platforms vary significantly by protocol and by technologies, as TCP/IP-based networks often do across any organization, integration becomes even more difficult. When the strategies and processes that organizations rely on to attain objectives are included

This is necessary to provide a seamless platform on which health solutions can be effectively integrated and deployed. Without using such a platform, the development of electronic health care facilities will be more difficult to deploy. In other words, Tele-health is part of the overall healthcare ICT (Information Communications Technology) solutions that enables healthcare to be pushed out to the edge, for local delivery, and to be more evenly,
Wireless Networking Phenomenon Today's world is faced with a myriad of challenging and complex issues that require advanced technological solutions. As technology becomes increasingly user-friendly and focused on the consumer, it is evident that users have become more dependent on wireless technological devices as mechanisms that promote convenience, survival, and economic prosperity. Devices such as cellular phones, laptop computers, and personal digital assistants have become absolute essential components for many consumers
Technology & Logistics The author of this report has been asked to answer a fairly general but intriguing question. That question asks the author of this report to define how technology can improve the management of global logistics. Of course, technology can be used to improve logistics in any number of ways. However, the author of this report will center on a few in particular. Indeed, the use of barcodes, networking
