5) There is a company in your community that is starting to offer a WiMAX service for Internet access. The company promises 2-Mbps downloads. If the company predicts that this new service will attract 2000 customers, what is the bandwidth necessary to support this service? A big part of the answer depends on what type of signal encoding are they using. For example, to transmit 2 Mbps, what is the baud rate of the signal? As a simple example, lets assume the baud rate is one hundredth the data rate. That would require a baud rate of 20,000 Hz. To support 2000 customers, you will need to support 2000 times 20,000 baud. 8) Rank the following five media examplestwisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, microwave, and satellitein order from highest data transmission speed to lowest data transmission speed. Fiber, satellite, microwave, coaxial cable, twisted pair (satellite might be first under some conditions) 11) You are talking on your cellular telephone as you pass from one cell to another. Will your cellular telephone use the same set of frequencies in the new cell as it was using in the previous cell? Explain. No. Any two adjacent cells use different frequencies. 12) The local cable TV company is considering removing all the coaxial cable and replacing it with fiber-optic cable. List the advantages and disadvantages of this plan. Higher data rates, more channels, less noise 14) Can you transmit a video signal over twisted pair wire? Explain. Be sure to consider multiple scenarios. More than likely you can but noise is going to be a serious factor. The signal may be very fuzzy or distorted, making it impractical. 15) You are walking down the street and your cell phone rings. What was the sequence of events that allowed a person with a conventional telephone to call you on your cellular telephone? Your cell phone must be turned on, which means the system recognizes what cell you are currently in. Someone places a call, it goes to the cellular switching office, the call goes to the cell you are in and your cell phone rings. 16) What characteristics of Category 5/5e unshielded twisted pair make it the most commonly used conducted wire? Data transfer rates of 100-125 Mbps per wire; reasonably low noise; inexpensive cost per foot 21) Your company has two offices located approximately one mile apart. There is a need to transfer data between the two offices at speeds up to 100 Mbps. List as many solutions as possible for interconnecting the two buildings. Is each solution technically feasible? Financially feasible? Politically feasible? Defend your position. Twisted pair and coax: too great a distance for 100 Mbps Fiber-optic: might work; expensive; do you have right-of-way? Microwave: might work; expensive; do you have a clear line of sight? Satellite: might work, but really expensive Bluetooth or infrared: too great a distance
