Question
Pick a topic below & do Web research from credible sources (i.e., vendor websites, articles in biz / tech publications, and real-world interviews with knowledgeable users). Focus on business use (in a company or org, like Ch 2 & 3), not personal use.
Suggested Topics (pick 1):
Bluetooth, Cloud service standardization, Cloud standards (WSDL, SOAP, XML, JSON), DSL, fiber optic cables, GSM & CDMA, Internet 2, Internet of things, Internet Protocols (http, https, smtp, ftp), IEEE 802.3 or IEEE 802.11 protocol, IPv6, LAN networks, 4G LTV, MANs, mobile apps (e.g., Google Shopper, RBS Citizens Bank, Spotify), open source software, packet switching, RFID, Semantic Web, SEO, Semantic search, SOA (service oriented architecture), TCP/IP, Visual Web, VoIP, VPC & VPNs, wireless & mobile networks, Wireless security (SSID, WEP, EAP, WPA, 80211i)
-- or a related data / telecomm technology used in the business world that you want to learn more about.
Resources to explore: Techopedia, CNet, Wall Street Journal Technology, Information Week, Computer World, Info World, Network Computing, SFChronicle or SJMercuryNews business/tech section news, Technology Review, etc. for real-world examples & articles written by real reporters (not just blogs or social media!)
TO DO: In a few paragraphs, describe the technology, provide specific business examples, and cite a company / org. that is using this technology. Include at least 1 fully cited MLA reference (see Modules & Syllabus for examples). 300-350 words. Proofread for spelling, caps, grammar.
Explanation / Answer
BLUETOOTH:
Bluetooth refers to an open specification for a technology to enable data and wireless voice communications over short range.It provides point to point connections.
Each and every Bluetooth device is assigned a unique 48-bit MAC address.
Bluetooth uses the 2.4GHz ISM frequency band.
The 2.4GHz ISM band is unlicensed all over the world which makes Bluetooth the only completely world wide
standard.
Bluetooth uses the frequency range 2.4000 - 2.4835GHz.
Due to the unrestricted nature of the ISM band, Bluetooth have overcome interference from other systems and it does that by using a technique called Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum.
This spreads the RF power across the spectrum which reduces interference and the spectral power density.
It uses a software called protocol stack which mainly contains application layer, middleware layer and transport layer.
It's main applications are:
Serial Emulation
Ad-hoc Network
Dial up w/ Phone
File transfer
FAX
Audio
Print.
