Week 9 - Cell phone Transmission and Network SNMPs






This week we discussed the various ways cell phones transmit data and network SNMPs. 


Cell Phone Transmission Methods 

Cell phones utilize different transmission technologies to accommodate the various needs. For data, text, and voice, cell phones transmit data at a higher power to accommodate the longer range the data will need to transmit. This transmission will generally be in the 2.5Ghz to 5Ghz range and will eventually connect to a hard-wire copper or fiber optic line where the digital packets can travel the network as a home computer’s packets would. Bluetooth has a shorter range, and operates on 2.4Ghz. Since Bluetooth operates on a different protocol than the aforementioned method, they can run simultaneously. NFC is even a shorter range than Bluetooth and runs at 13.56MHz on another protocol.


Simple Network Management Protocol 


SNMP is a software that monitor hardware components, network lines, and internet traffic. It acts as a network doctor allowing for implementation of fixes when alerted. SNMP typically comes with a dashboard for reviewing events which can be shown down to the device using visual network maps. There are different software options available for SNMP and they all provide similar functionality with different features.


Conclusion

Various technologies operate on different protocols and require different software to monitor issues. Utilizing the proper SNMP can help reduce downtime by monitoring these networks. 


Is your network monitored to prevent downtime?
