We also know that the wireless network is a type of computer technology that works to transfer information between servers with the wireless system without using wires. It is done remotely by using electromagnetic waves such as radio waves that carry the information signal. So let’s get acquainted with this simple article about what is the wireless network technically?
Developing a wireless network standard
Available wireless network equipment supports various levels of industry communication standards. Currently, the IEEE 802.11b / g standard is widely accepted across the industry, and it provides the necessary balance between range and network productivity and support for portability to effectively serve most of society’s needs. With the emergence of new standards, such as the IEEE 802.11 improvements, they will be evaluated and published if security and productivity improvements are provided over the 802.11b / g network.
The goal is to provide the most advanced technology while ensuring that society benefits from stable and reliable services. This means that the IT community strives to evaluate the available wireless network industry standards and equipment to ensure the goal is achieved.
Technology definition
Wireless access point
A radio device that creates a central point of the wireless connection. The wireless access point acts like a “hub” where the total bandwidth is shared among all users for whom the device maintains an active network connection.
Wireless port
A network port installed to connect a wireless access point to a wired network. Wireless ports provide both data and power service to the wireless access point and clearly distinguish from regular network ports with a yellow warning sign attached. Because the wireless ports carry both data and electrical power, regular devices of the end-user can be seriously damaged if they are connected to this type of port.
Program as a client or wireless designer
BIT IT provides a client-side program that allows the computer to use 802.1x authentication for wired and wireless networks. Some of these operating systems support the 802.1x network and can be used to access networks. The pre-existing client software will be configured to support the PitNet Wi-Fi setup specified.
Coverage area
The geographical area where acceptable wireless service quality can be obtained. Coverage areas for similar devices may vary greatly due to the presence of building materials, interference, interruption, and setting of access points.
Intervention
The deterioration of the radio communication signal may be due to electromagnetic radiation or from another source, including other wireless entry points such as cell phones, microwave ovens, medical and studies equipment, and different gadgets that generate radio signals. Radio interference can either analyze the transmission or eliminate it completely depending on the signal strength generated by the harmful device.
Privacy
Privacy is the condition that must be met to maintain the confidentiality of personal information of users whether they are students, employees, or even patient information transmitted over a wireless network.
Safety
Security is especially important in wireless networks because data is transmitted by using wireless signals that can be easily intercepted without implementing specific data encryption mechanisms.
Infrastructure for wireless networks
A wireless network security protocol defined within the standard 802.11b. WEP is designed to provide the same degree of safety as a stressed-out network. Recent reports indicate that the use of WEP alone is insufficient to ensure privacy unless it is used in conjunction with other data encryption mechanisms.
WPA
Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access, a Wi-Fi standard designed to enhance WEP safety functions. This technology features improved data encryption through the Temporary Key Safety Protocol (TKIP), user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), and the PEAP – MSChapV2 protocol. BitNet Wi-Fi uses WPA.
802.1x
This standard improves the security of local area networks by providing an authentication framework that allows users to authenticate to a central authority, such as LDAP or Active Directory. In conjunction with 802.11 network access technologies, this system provides an effective mechanism to control access to the wireless LAN.
802.11a
An extension of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless network technology. The 802.11a network applies to wireless local area networks and supports a maximum connection rate of 54Mbps in the 5GHz band. This specification does not comply with the 802.11b / g wallpaper and requires special wireless adapters.
802.11b
An extension of the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless network technology. Applies 802. 11b on wireless local area networks and supports a maximum connection rate of 11 Mbps with the ability to refer to 5. 5, 2 and 1 Mbps in the ISM band at a speed of 2. 4 GHz. This standard was ratified in 1999.
802.11g
An extension of the 802.11 standard that permits a maximum connection rate of 54 Mbps while maintaining compatibility with the 802.11b standard in the 2.4GHz band. These specifications are compatible and complementing the 802.11b standard.
802.11i
An extension of the 802.11 standards to provide improved security at the level available in the 802.11 extension range. This extension affords for progressed encryption techniques and the mixing of the IEEE 8021x. authentication protocol, as well as advanced encryption mechanisms such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), for the implementation of an optional fully compatible 802.11i implementation.
802.11n
It uses multiple transmit and receive antennas (also known as multiple-input, multiple-output or multiple-input) to allow for increased data processing capacity and data range. This standard was ratified in 2009. Business previously measured devices are not compatible with BitNet Wi-Fi.
the use
Before installing any wireless devices, Bit IT reviews the usage requirements of the respective region to determine the optimal number of wireless access points needed to effectively support all users in the region simultaneously. When performing a site survey, it will take into account the space configuration, building materials, the expected number of end-user devices to be used and the potential sources of radio frequency interference.
The Bit IT team will only support infrastructure mode installations. This equipment requires at least one wireless access point. Wireless pairing mode will not be supported.
In order to prevent problems arising from interference in the radio, ensure the integrity of resources, and ensure the availability of reliable wireless network services on a large scale, there must remain a single owner of all unlicensed spectrum of radio frequencies available for use in any of the locations and related features.
