Glossary

●

— Third Generation. 3G refers to the third generation of mobile telephony technology.

●

4G LTE

— Fourth Generation. 4G LTE refers to the fourth generation of mobile telephony technology.

●

802.11 (b, g, n)

— A set of WLAN communication standards in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5 GHz frequency bands.

●

bps

— Bits per second. The rate of data ﬂow.

●

Broadband

— High-capacity high-speed transmission channel with a wider bandwidth than

conventional modem lines. Broadband channels can carry video, voice, and data simultaneously.

●

CDMA

— Code Division Multiple Access. It is the underlying channel access method used by some

mobile phone standards.

●

DHCP

— Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol. Software found in servers and routers that

automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to clients logging into an IP network.

●

DHCP Server

— A server or service with a server that assigns IP addresses.

●

DNS

— Domain Name System. A system for converting host names and domain names into IP

addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol.

●

Firmware

— A computer program embedded in an electronic device. Firmware usually contains

operating code for the device.

●

Hotspot

— A WiFi (802.11) access point or the area covered by an access point. Used for connecting

to the Internet.

●

HTTP

— Hypertext Transfer Protocol. An application-level protocol for accessing the World Wide Web

over the Internet.

●

IEEE —

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. An international technical/professional society

that promotes standardization in technical disciplines.

●

IMEI

— International Mobile Equipment Identity. Used in LTE networks to identify the device. It is

usually printed on the device and can often be retrieved using a USSD code.

●

— Internet Protocol. The mechanism by which packets are routed between computers on a

network.

●

IP Type

— The type of service provided over a network.

●

IP address

— Internet Protocol address. The address of a device attached to an IP network (TCP/IP

network).

●

ISP

— Internet Service Provider. Also referred to as the service carrier, an ISP provides Internet

connection service. (

See

Network Operator)

●

Kbps

— Kilobits per second. The rate of data ﬂow.

●

LAN

— Local Area Network. A type of network that lets a group of computers, all in close proximity

(such as inside an oﬃce building), communicate with one another. It does not use common carrier

circuits though it can have gateways or bridges to other public or private networks.

●

LTE

— Long Term Evolution. A wireless broadband technology designed to support roaming Internet

access via cell phones and handheld devices. Because LTE oﬀers signiﬁcant improvements over older

cellular communication standards, some refer to it as a 4G (fourth generation) technology along with

WiMax.

●

MAC Address

— Media Access Control. A number that uniquely identiﬁes each network hardware

device. MAC addresses are 12-digit hexadecimal numbers. This is also known as the physical or

hardware address.

●

Mbps

— Megabits per second.

●

MSID

— Mobile Station IDentiﬁer. A number for a mobile phone that identiﬁes that phone to the

network. These numbers are carrier speciﬁc.

●

Network Operator

— The vendor who provides your wireless access. Known by diﬀerent names in

diﬀerent regions, some examples are: wireless provider, network provider, and service provider.

●

Network Technology

— The technology on which a particular network provider’s system is built; such

as CDMA or EVDO.

●

Port

— A virtual data connection used by programs to exchange data. It is the endpoint in a logical

connection. The port is speciﬁed by the port number.

●

Port Forwarding

— A process that allows remote devices to connect to a speciﬁc computer within a

private LAN.

●

Port Number

—

A 16-bit number used by the TCP and UDP protocols to direct traﬃc on a TCP/IP

host. Certain port numbers are standard for common applications.

●

PRL

— Preferred Roaming List. A list that your wireless phone or device uses to determine which

networks to connect with when you are roaming. (Network operator speciﬁc).

●

Protocol

— A standard that enables connection, communication, and data transfer between

computing endpoints.

●

Proxy

— A ﬁrewall mechanism that replaces the IP address of a host on the internal (protected)

network with its own IP address for all traﬃc passing through it.

●

Rev A

— CDMA EV-DO Rev. A is a leading-edge wireless technology with higher data rates and higher

system capacity. It is a fully backward compatible standard and remains interoperable with deployed

EV-DO networks and devices around the world. The increased data rates on Rev. A’s physical layer

enable richer applications and services. For more information, visit

www.cdg.org

●

Router

— A device that directs traﬃc from one network to another.

●

SIM

— Subscriber Identiﬁcation Module. Found in GSM network technology, the SIM is a card

containing identiﬁcation information for the subscriber and their account. The SIM card can be moved

to diﬀerent devices.

●

SSID

— Service Set IDentiﬁer. The name assigned to a WiFi network.

●

TCP/IP

— Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.

The set of communications protocols used

for the Internet and other similar networks.

●

USB

— Universal Serial Bus. A connection type for computing device peripherals such as a printer,

mobile modem, etc. USB connectors may be used for data transfer or charging.

●

USB Port Types

— The USB ports on computers and hubs have a rectangular Type A socket, and

peripheral devices have a cable with a Type A plug. Peripherals that do not have an attached cable

have a square Type B socket on the device and a separate cable with a Type A and Type B plug. Ports

and connectors are available in diﬀerent sizes (for example, standard, mini, and micro).

●

VPN

— Virtual Private Network. A secure private network that runs over the public Internet.

Commonly used to connect to an oﬃce network from elsewhere.

●

WWAN

— Wireless Wide Area Network. A public network that extends beyond architectural,

geographical, or political boundaries (unlike a LAN, which is usually a private network located within a

room, building, or other limited area).

●

WEP

— Wired Equivalent Privacy. An IEEE standard security protocol for 802.11 networks. Superseded

by WPA and WPA2.

●

WiFi

— Wireless Fidelity. Any system that uses the 802.11 standard developed and released in 1997 by

the IEEE.

●

WiFi Client

— A wireless device that connects to the Internet via WiFi.

●

WPA/WPA2

— WiFi Protected Access. A security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks from the WiFi

Alliance.
