Baud

Ian McLeod — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 05:35:46 +0000

One signaling element per second, not to be confused with bits per second. In telecommunication and electronics, baud is a common unit of measurement of symbol rate, which is one of the components that determine the speed of communication over a data channel. It is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second or pulses per second.

Attenuation

Attenuation (also referred to as loss) is a physical loss that occurs with any type of signal, (digital or analog) and refers to the reduction in the strength of a signal, which is a natural consequence of that signal traveling over the specific medium for long distances. Objects and conflicting bands of wireless signal may cause attenuation outside of expected performance parameters. Determining loss in different areas is important in diagnosing WLAN network issues.

WiFi

Wireless Fidelity according to some sources, while others argue WiFi is simply a trademarked phrase. A wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide connectivity between computers and devices in certain areas called hotspots or Wireless Local Area Networks WLAN. WiFi emits frequencies (2.4GHz and 5GHz), which are compatible with most computers and mobile devices.

VPN

Ian McLeod — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 04:39:21 +0000

Virtual Private Network or VPN. Network technology that uses a public network, like the Internet, to establish a secure connection between private networks. Voice, video, and data traffic can then be sent and received as if you were connected via a secure and encrypted Local Area Network (LAN). Even though a VPN operates more like a Wide Area Network (WAN).

VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol or VOIP. Technology that allows you to transmit voice calls as digital data packets through IP networks rather than use the traditional method that sends analog signals sent along the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Placing a VoIP call can be performed with a regular phone, special IP phones, or mobile devices. In fact, most long-distance calls from traditional carriers are now VoIP calls.

UDP

Ian McLeod — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 04:32:32 +0000

User Datagram Protocol or UDP is a data transmission protocol used as an alternative to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Like TCP, UDP sends data Packets to an IP Address. Uses for UDP include Voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing.

TCP

Ian McLeod — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 04:30:06 +0000

Transmission Control Protocol or TCP. A data transmission protocol that enables your computer to talk to another computer. TCP is one of the core protocols governing Internet data exchange, directing how a connection is created between networks. As well as converting information into packets, sending and confirming those packets are sent and that they arrive at its destination.
