1. List three access technologies: one home access, one enterprise access, and one wide-area wireless access. Compare the three technologies from performance and cost point of view. Why is each of the technologies suitable for its respective environment? 2. List the available residential access technologies in KSA. For each type of access technology, provide the advertised downstream rate, upstream rate, monthly price, type of physical medium, access device. When is each of these access technologies preferable? 3. Survey the historical development of Ethernet LANs and the physical media that Ethernet can run over. List the different Ethernet generations, associated standards, physical medium, transmission rate. 4. Dial-up modems, HFC, DSL and FTTH are all used for residential access. For each of these access technologies, provide a range of transmission rates and comment on whether the transmission rate is shared or dedicated. Compare their cost and justify the shift from one technology to the next. 5. Describe the most popular wireless Internet access technologies today. Compare and contrast them from performance and cost perspective. Give an overview of the associated standards and protocols. 1.
