IT for Business1 Q1. It has been decided to buy parts and build a personal computer. The minimum components that will be required for this device are processor, motherboard, storage, memory, and graphics processing unit, case and power supply (Wolf, 2012). Q2. The most important features that need to consider before purchasing PC are (PCW, 2018): - Size Screen Quality RAM CPU Keyboard quality Battery life Build Quality Finger reader and TPM USB 3.0 Q3. WAN: - WAN stands for wide area network, it is a far-reaching system on networks (Kuyoro, Osisanwo & Akinsowon, 2015). WAN include multiple MAN's and LAN's that get connected to the distance of more than 48 kilometers which is approximately equal to 30 miles.
IT for Business2 MAN: - MAN stands for Metropolitan Area network, this network gets linked with the numerous LAN available within a large city or metropolitan region. This network can be used by the individual or group within the distance of up to 50 kilometers that is 30 miles approx. LAN: - LAN stands for the local area network, it is one of the computer networks that is used within a single campus or building (Kuyoro, Osisanwo & Akinsowon, 2015). Therefore, this system of the network is mainly used by the offices within the radios of 5-6 kilometers which are equal to 3-4 miles. PAN: - PAN is a wireless network that is designed with the objective of handheld and portable devices like cell phones, tablets, laptops and many others. Therefore, this network is used by only one or two people. The transmission speed of the network is low and the highest difference between the devices is 10 meters. Q4. Optical fibers have mainly replaced copper wire communications in the core networks in the advanced world because of its advantages over the electrical transmission. Some of major advantages are: - Extremely high bandwidth Longer distance Low security risk Resistance to electromagnetic Interference Small Size Easy to Accommodate Increasing bandwidth Light weight
IT for Business3 Q5. This is the fact that Wi-Fi is around us and it is used by pervasiveness. The use of the Wi-fi universally also have some of the downsides. Some of them are: - High cost of pervasive service Cost of building a robust network Cost of quality of service Cost of people References Kuyoro, S., Osisanwo, F., & Akinsowon, O. (2015).
