...Mobile and wireless technologies have evolved beyond recognition in today’s technology environment. The advent of mobile phones and similar devices has transformed business and social interactions, and Internet access no longer depends on a wired system such as a modem connected to a telephone landline, but rather, it can be achieved using a mobile enabled device whenever and wherever a mobile access point is available. Such access points or hot spots are now widely available in airports, hotels, educational institutions and other public buildings, and increasing numbers of wireless networks are being installed in commercial buildings and private homes. The term "wireless" refers, in the most basic and obvious sense, to communications sent without wires or cables. It is a broad term that encompasses all sorts of wireless technologies and devices, including cellular communications, networking between computers with wireless adapters, and wireless computer accessories. Mobile technology extends computing and the Internet into the wireless medium, and provides greater flexibility in communication, collaboration, and information sharing. Mobile technology, which can support computing on the move using portable devices through wireless networks (Varshney and Vetter, 2000; Malladi and Agrawal, 2002), has emerged as the next wave in IT revolution. Mobile technology includes technological infrastructure for connectivity such as Wireless Application...

...Case Analysis 4: Google’s attempt to but into wireless via 700MHz Spectrum Auction TM583 12/09/2012 Why did Google make this move? What do they hope to accomplish? Google made this move because they wan to compete with the other companies and become innovated. Google has most been known for their website and maps and now, they want to be known for more. “Google interest in the spectrum came after AT&T and other larger broadband providers expressed interest in recent years in getting web-based businesses to pay more for their customers’ use of the broadband networks.”(http://www.cio.com/article/160601/Google_to_Bid_in_700MHz_Spectrum_Auction) Google wanted control of the Internet experience on the device that hosted it. If they got the wireless spectrum, they could control how much the consumer would decide to pay or not pay for their service. However, since they put a bid in for the wireless spectrum, they wanted to do the same thing on their network. The 700MHz spectrum will travel far making it perfect for the wireless industry. How does Google support for Open Access fit into Google’s plans? “Google has said it would bid on the 700MHz spectrum only if the FCC guarantees certain open-access principles; including open access for companies wanting to buy wireless capacity wholesale.” (http://news.cnet.com/Googles-battle-for-wireless-spectrum---page-2/2008-1039_3-6199374-2.html) Open Access for the 700MHz spectrum can be lay down “four freedom” 1.)

...Dr. Strayer, In analyzing your wanting to move to using mobile devices over a wireless network in order to move from one examining room to the next to document patient visits, I have come up with a plan. I have also laid out the risks you will inherit if you choose to do so. I am definitely one to take on risks if it is for the betterment of my business or career. So, along with possible risks I have also given you the proper steps to mitigate these risks during your advancement of technology. Technologies advancement has definitely positively influenced society. Unfortunately it has also engaged in a negative effect. Wireless devices have proven to be convenient, flexible, and easy to use. With the use of wireless local area networks it allow users to move from place to place within the office without losing connectivity. Mobile devices are able to synchronize data by the use of network services such as wireless email, web browsing, and internet access. Sharing data and applications with one another would definitely be made easier and convenient. With the convenience, flexibility, and ease comes the risk. The way wireless networks work is by transmitting data through radio frequencies allowing openness to intruders. Intruders can gain access to information systems and bypass firewall protection. Therefore, once data is transmitted between wireless devices, it can be intercepted or disclosed. If an intruder accesses sensitive information, they are able to launch...

...INDIVIDUAL PAPER WEEK 6 BUSINESS PROPOSAL MIANQI SHEN ECO/561 MARCH 23, 2015 MARK ERENBURG GOOGLE'S NEW WIRELESS SERVICE About the end of March 2015 Google will begin offering its own wireless service. Google's market structure as a wireless provider will be an oligopoly market structure which is when a standardized product is sold by a small number of sellers. Providers must differentiate their services. Each provider makes its own decisions. The wireless industry is regulated so providers are not completely free to set their own prices and offerings. Google is starting its wireless service on a small scale. When Google enters a new market it usually does so in a big way. Google’s next move is launching a wireless carrier service sold directly to end users (Epstein, 2015). We will look at the business feasibilities based on the economic conditions and the impacts. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world economy will grow by 2.9% in 2015. The world GDP was estimated to have increased by 2.5% in 2014. Global growth will be boosted by lower oil prices: a 10% fall is thought to add 0.2 percentage points to world GDP. The world economy most likely will be held back by weakness in the euro area and Japan, and by slower growth in emerging markets. China will see expansion slow to 7%, but America will be the best-performing rich-world economy in 2015, with growth forecast at 3.3% (The Economist, 2015). Let us referring...

...INCORPORATING WIRELESS INVENTORY SCANNERS THROUGHOUT WAREHOUSE Prepared for Professor April 5, 2014 Letter of Transmittal Board Members 1234 Martin Luther King Dr. Killeen, TX 76543 USA Dear Members of the Board and Fellow Employees: Here is my report, highlighting the recommendations that should implement a wireless inventory scanning process throughout our warehouse. This report provides detailed information regarding the significant impact that this wireless network will have on control cost and inventory productivity. My research indicates that implementing a wireless inventory scanning network will drastically improve on control cost and inventory productivity across the board for all involved. It will benefit our inventory clerks by making their working hours more productive and decrease the amount of time needed to manually count the inventory. This will allow for a seamless flow of data from our warehouse location to our store shelves to allow for a more productive selling advantage. Also, it will drop maintenance cost to a minimum by incorporating our own in house IT personnel to maintain the network without having to outsource any maintenance personnel. For these benefits, I encourage you to approve of this upgrade in our inventory process. It will benefit our organization in many ways and improve employee morale. If you have any questions or suggestions, I would be glad to answer them for you. Sincerely, Contents LIST...

...Mobile Devices Now days, wireless communication and devices are very flexible, convenient, and easy to use everywhere. With the introduction of wireless local area network (WLAN) many users find it very flexible to move laptops from one place to another within the office while maintaining connectivity with the network, sharing data and applications with network system and other users with compatible devices without been tied to printer cables and other peripheral device connection. This is very important in a doctor’s office because patients and doctors move from room to room depends on the type of test they are doing. Having mobile device makes it easier for them to do their jobs easier and it can even help cut wiring costs (Patricia & Donna, 2008). In the other hand there are many risks inherent in using wireless and mobile technologies. Wireless networks face the same threats as conventional wired network because intruders who gain access to information systems via wireless communication can bypass firewall protection and expose patient’s information and data. Besides lunching denial of service attacks, insert viruses or malicious code, disable operations, most importantly they can violate the privacy of patients and even steal their identities. Risk of using wireless or mobile technology makes it easier to come up with a plan is place to try preventing further actions. This open connectivity brings with it risks, however, some of which are similar to those in wired...
