1. Research the types of media that were covered in this week's lectures (UTP, STP, Fiber Optic and Wireless) and create a table that compares each media type showing the maximum segment length, bandwidth (speed), comparative cost, advantages and disadvantages.It is recommended that you use Wikipedia to obtain the most up to date information about bandwidth.
In order to clarify this assignment: Hint: I did one thing...I highlighted 'UTP, STP, Fiber Optic and Wireless' right-clicked and picked "Search Google for 'UTP, STP, ...'" which gave me everything I needed to complete this assignment. To get you started, I made a chart and used a media type I did not list in the original assignment. Imagine your employer is trying to decide which media type to install in a new facility they are building....it is your job to present the facts so they can make an informed decision without doing all the google searching themselves....now, go!
As always PLEASE CITE YOUR SOURCES or you will lose points.
2. Explore ways to secure a wireless network and present your findings in a brief report(1 page is fine, more is ok). Talk about your own experiences with using a wireless network, including the things you do to keep the network secure.
