Switches
WiFi is the wireless way to handle networking. It is also known as 802.11 networking and wireless networking. The big advantage of WiFi is its simplicity. You can connect computers anywhere in your office without the need for wires. The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and computers can be up to 100 feet or so apart.
Wireless Network
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) creates standards, and they number these standards in unique ways. The 802.11 standard covers wireless networks. The a, b and g notations identify different flavors of the 802.11 standard: 802.11b was the first version to reach the marketplace. It is the slowest and least expensive of the three. As mentioned above,
802.11b transmits at 2.4 GHz and can handle up to 11 megabits per second.
802.11a was next. It operates at 5 GHz and can handle up to 54 megabits per second.
802.11g is a mix of both worlds. It operates at 2.4Ghz (giving it the cost advantage of 802.11b) but it has the 54 megabits per second speed of 802.11a.
• DS0 - 64 kilobits per second • ISDN - Two DS0 lines plus signaling (16 kilobits per
second), or 128 kilobits per second • T1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines) • T3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s) • OC3 - 155 megabits per second (84 T1s) • OC12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s) • OC48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s) • OC192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)
Connectivity options are Dial-up, ISDN, Leased Line, VSAT network
When you use a normal modem on a line like this, it can transmit data at perhaps 30 kilobits per second (30,000 bits per second).
Wide Area Network
Internet
Technology
An ATM is simply a data terminal with two input and four output devices. Like any other data terminal, the ATM has to connect to, and communicate through, a host processor. The host processor is analogous to an Internet service provider (ISP) in that it is the gateway through which all the various ATM networks become available to the cardholder (the person wanting the cash).
Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
Most host processors can support either leased-line or dial-up machines. Leased-line machines connect directly to the host processor through a four-wire, point-to-point, dedicated telephone line. Dial-up ATMs connect to the host processor through a normal phone line using a modem and a toll-free number, or through an Internet service provider using a local access number dialed by modem.

The kiosks, PCs equipped with touchscreen monitors, being used to build sophisticated information kiosks and has far-reaching potential in Customer Access Applications.
Information Kiosk
Touch-screen technology makes the kiosks easy to use—all you have to do is touch the graphic icons on the screen, and your information is on the way. The kiosk can even be set up to provide information, animation, or advertisements when it is not in use.
Requirements
Communication NetworkKiosk HardwarePhoto editing softwareHigh end scannerKiosk Data Entry Application kind of application which can help to relate specific images to text paragraphs, or link a single image to text in several languages
A typical information kiosk features a rich multimedia interface supported by animated graphics, high quality images and high performance operation.
Every public or private institution with large premises and large amounts of data in various formats (e.g., graphics, text, audio, video, panoramic views, etc.) can use Information Kiosk to provide visitors, employees, students, or tourists with comprehensive access to all the services and information available at the site.
The range of information that can be displayed is limited only by the kiosk developer’s imagination!http://www.haifa.il.ibm.com/projects/software/jaki/
Mobile Internet
Wireless Application ProtocolHere's what happens when you access a Web site using a WAP
enabled device: • You turn on the device and open the minibrowser. • The device sends out a radio signal, searching for service. • A connection is made with your service provider. • You select a Web site that you wish to view. • A request is sent to a gateway server using WAP. • The gateway server retrieves the information via HTTP from
the Web site. • The gateway server encodes the HTTP data as WML. • The WML-encoded data is sent to your device. • You see the wireless Internet version of the Web page you
selected. • To create wireless Internet content, a Web site creates
special text-only or low-graphics versions of the site. The data is sent in HTTP form by a Web server to a WAP gateway. This system includes the WAP encoder, script compiler and protocol adapters to convert the HTTP information to WML. The gateway then sends the converted data to the WAP client on your wireless device.
