    Study Notes

    Wireless Networking Basics

    • Two methods for connecting computers to a network: wired and wireless
    • Wired connection uses LAN/UTP cables
    • Wireless connection transmits data through electromagnetic waves

    Frequency Spectrum

    • Earth is surrounded by electromagnetic fields (EMF)
    • Wave characteristics vary with force (lower force = lower frequency waves, higher force = higher frequency waves)
    • WLANs use the radio spectrum, specifically 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

    2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Bands

    • 2.4 GHz band uses 802.11 standard
    • Channel separation and interchannel interference is important in 2.4 GHz
    • 5 GHz band uses 802.11a standard
    • Non-overlapping channels are present

    Securing Wireless Networks

    • Wireless data is vulnerable to interception by rogue devices
    • Security is achieved through authentication, encryption, and data integrity

    Authentication

    • 3-stage authentication process: challenge, response, validation
    • Common authentication methods include 802.1x authentication process and 802.11 standard authentication methods

    Encryption

    • Encryption methods, like TKIP, RC4 cipher, Michael algorithm, CCMP, AES, CBC-MAC, GCMP, and GMAC, are used to protect data
    • WPA uses TKIP, WPA2 uses CCMP, and WPA3 uses GCMP

    Implementing a Wireless Network

    • Wireless network uses radio frequencies for connections between nodes
    • Wireless Access Point (WAP) allows wireless-capable devices to connect to a wired network

    Wireless Network Planning

    • Process of strategizing and architecting a wireless network design that provides adequate coverage, security, and capacity

    Wireless Network Implementation

    • Necessary equipment includes a wireless router (used to broadcast the Wi-Fi signal) and an Ethernet cable to connect the router to a modem
    • Implementation steps include: physical setup, connection of router, and placement

    Infrared and Bluetooth

    • Bluetooth allows short-range wireless communication between devices
    • Used in various personal electronic devices (keyboards, headsets, computers, etc.)
    • Infrared uses radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, but shorter than microwaves
    • Used for remote controls and some other applications

    Remote Connectivity Concepts

    • Remote connectivity is the ability of devices to connect remotely through internet or local networks
    • The telephone system is a primary example of remote connectivity, enabling communication between different locations
    • Protocols like Frame Relay, ATM, RAS, and PSTN are examples of remote connectivity technologies
    • Modem types, including external, internal, and multiline rack, are used for connecting to these networks
    • ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) provides various channels and services for these networks

    Remote Connectivity Methods

    • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is used for remote access to Windows-based systems
    • Virtual Network Computing (VNC) and SSH are alternatives to RDP
    • Cloud-based remote desktop services are also available

    5G and Beyond

    • 5G offers ultra-fast speeds and low latency
    • Massive IoT applications are enabled by this technology

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

    • AI and ML play a role in customer service and fraud detection in telecommunications

    Internet of Things (IoT)

    • Advancement in interconnected devices, smart homes, and cities are present under the IoT category

    Cloud Computing

    • Cloud computing facilitates scalability and flexibility

    Terminal Service

    • Integrated into Windows operating system, providing terminal access to different systems
    • Terminal Services history includes mainframe era, PC revolution, and entry into Microsoft products like NT 3.51, NT 4.0, 2000, 2003, 2008, and Windows-based terminal (WBT)

    Dial-up Networking

    • Connects to the internet via a standard telephone line

    VPN (Virtual Private Network)

    • Network that uses public networks but creates a protected network connection for devices, encrypting the data
    • Provides secure remote access and provides protection during data transmission

    Security Protocols

    • Various security protocols are used to secure network communication including IPSec, Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP), WireGuard, OpenVPN, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), and Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
