450 Mbps
Which wireless technology is provided by telecommunications companies and offers network coverage within 1-5 km with a speed of 1-10 Mbps?
GSM
What type of network coverage is supported by Wireless LANs?
Within building (100 ft.)
In a wireless network, what does GSM stand for?
Global System for Mobile communication
Which physical media is considered when a bit travels through a series of links and routers?
A combination of different media including wireless, fiber-optic, and copper cables
What is the average speed offered by wide-area wireless networks using 3G technology?
10 Mbps
What is the main difference between guided and unguided physical media?
Guided physical media signals propagate in solid media, while unguided signals propagate freely through electromagnetic radio waves
What type of information is carried by the light pulses in fiber optic cables?
Bits characterized by high-speed operation
What is the transmission rate of Category 6 twisted pair copper?
10 Gbps
Which method of data transfer establishes a dedicated communication path between two devices before data transmission?
Circuit switching
What is a characteristic of circuit switching?
The circuit remains dedicated for the duration of the session
What is the main disadvantage of electro-magnetic radio waves as a physical media?
Obstruction by objects
What does packet switching involve?
Communication method where data is divided into smaller units called packets
What is the main difference between Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)?
$TDM$ involves dividing the channel into time slots, while $FDM$ involves dividing the channel into frequency slots
$10Gbps$ data transmission is typically associated with which type of twisted pair copper?
$Category 6$
$Packet switching$ differs from $circuit switching$ in that:
$Packet switching$ establishes a dedicated communication path before data transmission, while $circuit switching$ divides data into smaller units called packets
This quiz covers topics from Dr. Dina Fawzy's lecture 2 on computer networks, referencing the book 'Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach' by Jim Kurose and Keith Ross. It includes discussions on wireless networks, physical media, network core, data transmission methods, circuit switching, packet switching, and the internet's structure as a network of networks.
