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….

These aspects should be considered while designing and implementing a network to gain maximum efficiency. (Trulove, 19-20)
The standard that defines the application of a WLAN is IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard. Though this is the basic standard amended ones define the additional prescriptions added to it like 802.11a or 802.11b. The capacity of a WLAN is defined by its basic compatibility. WLAN of the latest version comes with an 11 Mbps capacity which also means it adheres to the latest version 802.11b which defines the amount of information the network can contain and transmit. Full throughput of 11 Mbps cannot be achieved though the throughput is limited to 4.5 to 6 Mbps at maximum level which can be compared to 10 Mbps in a wired LAN connected through Ethernet. A WLAN kit is the best solution for easy installation in homes and offices. It has one or more W-NIC with….

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 in the analysis, the challenges become even greater. Because of the multiplicity of these factors, it is very difficult to connect the many forms of wireless technologies into legacy, third-party and enterprise-wide systems within an organization.

Lack of Integration at the Protocol Structural Level

At the most fundamental level of integration wireless networks often support a varying standard to the Carrier Sense Multiple Access, Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) based protocols that full category-5 cabled networks do, in addition to having more options for….

Wireless Broadband Technology
Overview of Wireless technology

Presently it is quite evident to come across functioning of a sort of wireless technology in the form of mobile phone, a Palm pilot, a smart phone etc. With the inception of fast connectivity in the sphere of commerce it is customary and useful to operate from central locations communicating with the remote branches, conducting conferences in remote places, discussing with every body at every moment as per need, and stay connected to the headquarters through out. There is an incessant demand to cater to such needs. The wireless technology is becoming significant in making available instant reach ability to the network and connectivity to all within the vicinity. In the educational field the general classroom, conference halls, lecture halls, hallways are required by the staff, faculty and students to be connected securely to the network.

(Gutierrez, Jose a; Callaway, 7)
Another benefit of WSN is the minimum damage or repair. A wiring may be lost or disconnected or might break due to various reasons. This is called last meter connectivity problem. Such problems are reduced by WSN. In a WAN, it is usually called the last mile connectivity problem. Finally, WSN enables collection of recurring information from a manufacturing environment to upgrade the quality of work. Deployment of cabled sensors in a manufacturing environment will lead to various barriers and would include huge costs. WSN is an adaptable method of connecting sensors. WSN registers various matters in an environment like security details, verification, radio frequency broadcast, fixing of an antenna, etc. A movable WSN has an edge over a fixed one, though the movement of WSN equipment does not arise. But this is helpful in the case of fixing a fast track network. Cabled and….

The value proposition intends that device, wireless network, and content and services are in a combination. This means that mobile Internet devices will not be able to define applications or that internet content and services cannot define devices. In place of that the design of devices, content, services and networks should have respect for the each others capabilities and the value of each need to be given due consideration. It is all about convergence - and convergence intends sharing of value. It does not mean attempting to steal or to control it. The value chain of the new world would be wherein content and Internet connectivity will follow through a spectrum of devices and services. Along with changes in end-user needs, there would be an implied change in the needs of the devices. This is one of the various reasons why all in one device are unlikely. Promoting a….

ireless Network Implementation
ireless business networks allow multiple computers to share files, software applications, printers, and a single, high speed Internet connection. Several versions of wireless systems have developed since 1998, each still useful, depending on the nature of the business and its practical requirements. Home computer users embraced wireless technology from its inception, but business users have only recently begun incorporating wireless networking recently, owing to system and information security concerns.(O'Reilly)

hereas traditional (cabled) configurations transfer data at a rate of 100mb/sec, wireless capability generally ranges (realistically) between 5-6mb/sec and 54mb/sec. The very latest incarnation of cabled networks ("gigabyte networking") offers a 1000mb/sec rating compared to about 108mb/sec rating of the corresponding wireless "triband" systems just introduced to market within the last few months.(Briere)

Initial site surveys of this facility suggest that careful consideration is in order with respect to a tradeoff between signal strength and frequency owing to the physical layout….

The second stage of the process will involve developing the stratospheric platforms that can be used in routing electric power from the power plants that will be established to the source areas scattered all over the world.
The last stage will involve the full utilization of the space power technology where clean and efficient space power will effectively be used to light and power the world. While many of these ideas might seem years from full implementation, it is imperative to stress that the major step in the whole process has actually been undertaken and the present research is only focused on modifications and limiting wastage. Without doubt, the development of wireless solar power will greatly reduce the reliance on fossil fuels that is presently realized in the world.

The use and development of wireless power transmission transcends all facets of modern life. It will be applied in the low grade….

So as to receive the infrared signals, the receivers can be placed at any location within the office space.
The spread spectrum WLANs

This system makes use of multiple-cell configuration. This is to say that each of the cells in the arrangement is assigned a certain center frequency that is unique and that lies within a chosen band as to eliminate chances of signal interference. The system employs frequency hopping and direct sequence modulation methods. In the frequency hopping technique, the signals "jump" from one frequency to the next within a given bandwidth. The "listening" to the signal is then carried out by the transmission unit and should a successful detection of idle time occur, then it appropriately transmits the given data packet through the full channel bandwidth.

Direct Sequence Modulation

In this method, a wider band of frequency and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology are used. The signal emanating from the….

Wireless Local Area Network
The advent of networking more particularly the Local Area Network has its origin to the growing necessity of the user to have access and share much more data, application and other services than they could otherwise store by themselves in their own computer. Each LAN has to follow a particular topology which depicts physical arrangement of the nodes and logical method by which the data is transferred. Initially, the LAN implied to wired topology i.e. interconnection of the nodes in a particular location by means of cable network. Within the LAN there also exist a group of mobile users who desires to be connected irrespective of their positions. Moreover with the advent of small mobile/home office, the limitation of area becomes irritating to the users. The solution becomes Wireless LAN. It enables the computers of local area network to access data or other information without using Cables.….

The most important one that stands out is the security issue.
Today's global business environment is characterized not only by its increased mobility and the need to be able to quickly react to all stimuli on the market (all these issues that encourage the use of a wireless network), but also by the value of information.

Information is, according to many, the most important and valuable asset a company can possess.

The problem with a wireless network is that it diminishes security and, in an era where information is essential, this can lead to security glitches that might damage information control in the organization and might lead to information leaks to the outside. If security becomes the primary objectives to be reached, then firewalls and other security elements need to be installed, which technically will tend to reduce speed. If the speed of access to the network is significantly reduced, then obviously….

Modern homes are already providing their inhabitants with the technology that will be present in most houses in a few years. People are presently able to control mostly everything about their home through using wireless technology. ith customers expressing an increasing hunger in data, wireless carriers do their best to satisfy the needs of these people. Companies providing wireless are currently investing in wireless equipment because analysts anticipate that it is going to be one of the most important technologies fueling the comfort of society in the future. ireless technology is most certainly one of the best business opportunities that one can invest in, especially given that science produces a rising number of devices that can be operated wirelessly.
Although wireless technology is recognized for the fact that it makes networking more comfortable, the "wire vs. wireless" dilemma mainly depends on whether the person having this difficulty wants faster networking.….

Wireless technologies or Internet are used to develop a network through transmission of radio-frequency signals between computers for information sharing. Since these technologies do not use wires/cables, the broadcast of information within the network is primarily based on radio signals. Wireless technologies have developed to become very popular across every facet of society because they have revolutionized communication. These technologies basically emanated and were developed in the computer networking technologies field. In order to enhance competitiveness in computer networking, there are various types of wireless technologies that are currently in use. The two major wireless technologies that could be suitable for Party Plates organization include
Wi-Fi Technology:

Though the technology in itself is not new (been used for more than two decades in military radar operations) only recently it has begun to be tested for business communications. Researchers point out UW is at least 1000 times faster than currently used 802.11b or bluetooth technologies and hence could constitute an excellent alternative choice of protocol for local area networks, increasing their ability to cater to many more users at high bandwidth speeds and at considerably lower costs. As Mr. Frank Dzubeck, president of Washington based 'Communications Network Architects' says, '"The initial approval from the FCC might be, for example, for 100M bit/sec with a range of 150 feet. ut there's no reason why you can't increase speed and distance. it's a matter of power and finer granularity of the silicon chips." [John Cox] One interesting feature of UW is that it operates in the same frequency as….
