Cable or DSL Internet connections are considered fixed-line broadband, as they utilize physical cables to transmit data rather than a wireless connection like mobile or 3G/4G mobile broadband.

Question 4

Which of the following represents the primary perspective of people who oppose Net Neutrality?

Accepted Answer

Those who oppose net neutrality argue that a two-tiered system would create more freedom of choice for consumers and promote e-commerce by allowing ISPs to offer different levels of service. They believe that this would lead to more innovation and investment in the industry.

Question 5

In most organizations today,when the network goes down,it causes ___________.

Accepted Answer

When the network goes down in most organizations today, it often results in almost complete disruption of productivity or service, which includes lost sales, financial consequences, and the inability to process payroll and inventory. This can have severe consequences and long-lasting effects on the organization, making it crucial to have measures in place to prevent and quickly resolve network outages.

Question 6

Mobile infrastructure consists of the integration of all of the following factors except ________.

Accepted Answer

Mobile infrastructure consists of the integration of devices, support, security measures, and software. Personnel are not considered a factor in infrastructure, although they may be involved in the implementation and maintenance of the infrastructure.

Question 7

Which of the following statements represents the primary concerns of people who are in favor of Net Neutrality?

Accepted Answer

The primary concerns of those in favor of Net Neutrality are related to the potential for ISPs to limit access to certain content or prioritize access based on financial compensation. Specifically, they are concerned that ISPs may block or slow down access to content representing controversial points of view or that they will only provide high-speed access to content providers who pay for faster transmission.

Question 8

Which of the following trends or transformations was not forecast in Cisco's most recent Visual Networking Index Forecast (VNI)?

Accepted Answer

A lot of traffic will be offloaded from cellular networks and onto public Wi-Fi networks is not forecast in Cisco's most recent Visual Networking Index Forecast (VNI).

Question 9

Mobile networks and infrastructure have the potential to reduce healthcare costs.Tracking medical equipment and hospital inventory,such as gurneys,are done with _________ at a number of hospitals.

Accepted Answer

RFID tagging is a common method used to track medical equipment and hospital inventory in hospitals. It allows for real-time tracking and inventory management, which can help reduce costs and streamline operations. APIs and Linux are not directly related to this particular use case, and GPS may not be accurate enough for indoor tracking within hospital facilities.

Question 10

Networking standards "802.11b","802.11a",and "802.11g" are different types of _____________ standards.

Accepted Answer

802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g are Wi-Fi networking standards.

Question 11

Which of the following is not true about the Net Neutrality debate?

Accepted Answer

This statement is not true as almost all business organizations do not favor a two-tiered system. In fact, many small businesses and start-ups have been vocal supporters of Net Neutrality because it ensures a level playing field for all businesses online. Most individual users also favor Net Neutrality.

Question 12

___________ is an umbrella term that applies to location-aware technologies that allow devices to communicate securely with each other over short distances.

Accepted Answer

Near-field communications (NFC) is a specific type of location-aware technology that allows devices to securely communicate with each other over short distances (typically within a few centimeters). This technology is commonly used for mobile payments, data transfer between devices, and other applications. GPS technology and geo-location technology refer to broader concepts related to location awareness, while location sensitive apps are a type of software that can utilize various location-aware technologies.

Question 13

Which of the following is not a function of network protocols?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is not a...

Question 14

___________ is the practice of managing data transfer to ensure a certain level of performance or QoS.

Accepted Answer

Traffic shaping is the practice of managing data transfer to ensure a certain level of performance or QoS. It involves regulating the flow of network traffic, prioritizing certain types of data or applications, and limiting the amount of bandwidth available to certain users or devices. This is often done to optimize network performance and prevent congestion, while ensuring that critical applications and services receive the necessary resources.

Question 15

The 4G networks are faster than 3G because 4G are all ____________ networks.

Accepted Answer

4G networks are faster than 3G primarily because they are packet-switched, which allows for more efficient data transmission compared to the circuit-switched technology used in 3G networks.

Question 16

IT developers use ________ to quickly and easily connect diverse data and services to each other and as gateways to popular apps such as Twitter,Facebook,and Amazon.

Accepted Answer

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are specifically designed to connect different software systems and applications by allowing them to communicate with each other. IT developers use APIs to quickly and easily connect diverse data and services to each other and as gateways to popular apps such as Twitter, Facebook, and Amazon. Mobile OS (A) refers to the operating system used by mobile devices such as Android or iOS. SQL (C) is a programming language used to manage and manipulate relational databases. SlashDB (D) is a tool used to turn databases into RESTful APIs.

Question 17

Which of the following statements best represents the position of people who are in favor of Net Neutrality?

Accepted Answer

The position of people who are in favor of Net Neutrality is that ISPs should treat all sources of data equally and not give priority to content providers who pay for faster transmission. Option A is too broad and does not specify the role of ISPs. Option C and D both suggest payment to ISPs for carrying content based on usage, which is not in line with the principle of net neutrality.

Question 18

_____________ is a location-aware system that transmits the identity (in the form of a unique serial number)of an object or person using radio waves.It is used to track items in a supply chain or equipment in a production facility.

Accepted Answer

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is designed to transmit the identity of an object or person over short distances using radio waves. It is commonly used in supply chain management and production facilities to track inventory and equipment. GIS (Geographic Information System) is a mapping system used to analyze and display spatial data, while LTE (Long Term Evolution) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) are mobile communication technologies.
