Data on Fixed Line vs. Cellular Debate
Data transfer on fixed line telephone networks has been around for years, while transfer over cellular networks is relatively new. There are challenges, however, to having wireless communication be the ONLY medium for communication.
In this Lab, you will explain the pros and cons to having a purely cellular network vs. having a purely fixed line network. Conduct research on both using the ITT Tech Virtual Library and the Internet. You will report on data speed, network security, equipment cost, troubleshooting, failover solutions, and any other relevant topics that emerge from your readings and research.
Summarize the pros and cons of using either a purely cellular network or a purely fixed line network in a 2-4 page paper. At the end of your paper, write 1-2 paragraphs making a recommendation for a new company offering a "Skype"-style service. Recommend whether they should go with a fixed line or cellular solution. Cite all sources used.
