5.1 Wireless: Architecture And Infrastructure ) ®) ® ® o & 2 B3 B What is a Network Architecture? A network architecture is a map of a computer network. It allows network architects to design, build, and manage a network. It is divided into parts, with each part having its own task. All parts interact with one another. The internet is based on the TCP/IP network architecture. It is the worldwide standard, being used for LANs and WANSs, among other types of networks. Watch this video to learn more. Summary: In this video, TCP and UDP, you will learn about essential networking concepts as Mike Meyers discusses TCP/IP applications and network naming. Mike dives into the concepts and characteristics of routing and switching. A wireless router, also known as a wireless access point, can connect hundreds of network devices together with an existing network architecture to form both LAN and WAN Architectures. This can include short range technology such as Bluetooth and wi-fi or long-range point-to-point microwave technology.
5.2 Wireless Standards EEOENOEN ] B @ 0w B B B There are various standards used in wireless networks. These include the following: . 802.11a « 802.11b 802.11g « 802.11n The newest technology is the 802.11n wireless standard. It has an improved range of signal and faster speeds. The following figure highlights the various wireless standards. Wireless Standards Wireless Standards Standard | Frequency (GHz) = Max Data Transfer Rate (Mb/S) = Max Range (feet) 802.11a 37&5 54 115 802.11b 24 11 125 802.11g 24 54 125 802.11n 24 &5 300 240 Let's watch the following video on wireless networking. ~ Linkedfleorning Summary: You are not required to watch this entire video. This is to enhance your learning. Watch the video, Welcome to Wireless Networking. Here you'll get a broad overview of how wireless networks operate and walk through the steps of setting one up with instructor Kevin Wallace. Kevin discusses wireless LAN design options, wireless standards and security, and more. Kevin also demonstrates how to set up two different types of wireless networks—one using a common consumer-grade router and the other using professional-grade hardware.
