Devices for Network Connection

Introduction

Devices that are specified for network connection are often encountered in day to day life. These kinds of devices help us to organise our lives, plan our work and keep in contact with friends and family. I am going to list some of the services for devices that include network connectivity.


3G

3G,  or “3rd generation mobile telecommunications” is a new version of technology in phones and laptops that offers faster wireless access. 3G offers faster methods of sending and receiving data for devices that can be used on the go.

Using services such as 3G open new possibilities when using smart phones. You can now stream content from YouTube or listen to radio online. You can also browse websites speedily as well as interact with applications such as “Draw Something” which requires you to connect to other people via the internet. 

3G technologies are often sold at fair prices. A 3G based phone such as a blackberry can be found often on saver deals.  

4G


4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications. It offers most of the same services as 3G but much faster.

4G offers approximately ten times faster response time in comparison to 3G which allows you to operate faster. 4G technologies also operate at 2.6ghz frequency which allows for a larger range of coverage despite the fact that it may still use the same tower that a 3G device would use.

Upgrading different parts of the country would be much simpler as towers would only need to be equipped with 4G component rather than having to rebuild new towers.

N.I.C.

Using layers of electronic circuitry an N.I.C card will allow for networks to connect over a L.A,N Network.
the low cost and ubiquity of the Ethernet standard means that most newer computers have a network interface built into the motherboard.

















Wireless/Bluetooth

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi have similar applications, they are good for setting up networks, printing and transferring files.
Wi-Fi was intended as a replacement for cabling for work areas.
However, Bluetooth exists in many products, such as the iPod Touch, Lego Mindstorms NXT, PlayStation 3, PSP Go, telephones, the Nintendo Wii, and some high definition headsets, modems, and watches. Bluetooth is useful when transferring information between two or more devices that are near each other such as mobile phones.
