Question 4

Cable Internet service needs ____.
A) circuitry to handle Ethernet protocols and a cable modem
B) a cable modem and router
C) Internet protocols and a cable modem
D) a cable modem and phone lines

Accepted Answer

Cable Internet service uses Ethernet protocols to transmit data through the cable lines, so the circuitry must be designed to handle those protocols. A cable modem is also necessary to convert the signal from the cable lines into a format that a computer can read. A router may also be necessary to distribute the Internet connection to multiple devices. Internet protocols are necessary for any type of Internet service, including cable Internet. Phone lines are not used for cable Internet.

Question 5

Satellite Internet service and TV service requires ____.
A) two satellite dishes
B) a satellite dish and a modem
C) two satellites dishes and two modems

Question 8

The ability to easily move your Internet service from one location to another is considered ____ Internet service.
A) mobile
B) portable
C) moving
D) cellular

Accepted Answer

Portable Internet service refers to the ability to move your internet service from one location to another. Mobile, moving or cellular internet service may refer to internet service provided through a mobile device, but not necessarily the ability to move the service from one location to another.

Question 9

____ currently offers the fastest Internet access speeds.
A) ISDN
B) DSL
C) Satellite
D) Cable

Accepted Answer

Cable internet currently offers faster speeds than ISDN, DSL, and satellite internet. Cable internet uses the same coaxial cable that delivers cable TV to provide high-speed internet access.

Question 10

Examples of 3G technologies include ____.
A) EDGE
B) EV-DO
C) HSUPA
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

All the choices mentioned - EDGE, EV-DO, and HSUPA - are 3G technologies.

Question 11

With ____ you can easily assemble a small network just about anywhere.
A) RF
B) MiFi
C) EVDO
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

MiFi is a portable wireless router that uses cellular data networks to create a small Wi-Fi network. This means it can easily assemble a small network just about anywhere without reliance on a fixed broadband connection. RF refers to radio frequency and is a broad term used to describe wireless communication technologies, including Wi-Fi and cellular networks. EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized) is a type of wireless data network technology used by some cellular providers. While EVDO can provide internet access, it is not as portable or versatile as a MiFi device. Therefore, MiFi is the best choice for easily assembling a small network just about anywhere.

Question 12

____ wireless Internet service is designed to offer Internet access to homes and businesses by broadcasting data signals over areas large enough to cover most cities and outlying areas.
A) Mobile
B) Cellular
C) WiFi
D) Fixed

Accepted Answer

Fixed wireless Internet service is specifically designed to provide Internet access to a fixed location, such as homes and businesses, by transmitting data signals from a fixed location, typically a tower or base station, to an antenna mounted on the customer's building. This allows for a more reliable and consistent connection compared to mobile or cellular options, and can cover larger areas than WiFi.

Question 13

____ computing depends on a grid of servers,storage devices,and protocols that offer Internet-accessible computing services ranging from consumer-level media sharing to office productivity applications and complex corporate data processing.
A) Cloud
B) Disperse
C) Ambient
D) Client

Accepted Answer

The description provided about "a grid of servers, storage devices, and protocols that offer Internet-accessible computing services" fits the concept of cloud computing.

Question 14

Interim 4G technologies such as ____ have been deployed since 2009.
A) LTE
B) ITE
C) EV-DO
D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

LTE (Long-Term Evolution) is a widely deployed 4G technology since 2009. ITE (Intelligent Traffic Engineering) is not a 4G technology, and EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized) is a 3G technology. Therefore, A (LTE) is the correct answer.
