DISCUSSION
TOOLS
1. RJ45 Crimper/Crimping tool
– A device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming one of both of them in a
way that causes them to hold each other.
- To use this crimping tool, each wire is first placed into the connector. Once all
the wires are in the jack, the connector with wires is placed into the crimping
tool, and the handles are squeezed together. Crimping punctures the plastic
connector and holds each of the wires, allowing for data to be transmitted
through the connector.
2. Blade Cutter
- The portion of tool, weapon or machine with an edge that is designed to cut
and/or puncture, stab, or slash, chop, slice, thrust, or scrape surfaces or
materials.
3. Staple Gun
- A handheld machine used to drive heavy metal staples into wood, plastic or
masonry.
- It is used for many different applications and to affix a variety of materials,
including insulation, house warp, roofing, wring, carpeting, upholstery and
hobby and craft materials.
4. Set of Pliers
- A hand tool used to hold objects firmly, possibly developed from tongs used to
handle hot metal. They are also useful for bending and compressing a wide
range of materials.
5. Set of Screwdrivers
- A tool, manual or powered for turning (driving or removing) screws.
6. Hand drill with bits
- These are used for drilling a range of sizes of hole and they are very useful
especially if machine drills are not available. The hand drill generally holds drill
Page | 8
TLEd 202 – INTRODUCTION TO ICT 2
sizes from 1 mm to 9 mm while the brace will hold larger drill bits called
‘forstner bits’ and ‘auger bits’.
7. Hammer
- A handheld tool with a heavy head used for striking (often made of steel) and
a handle typically made of shock-absorbent material such as wood or
fiberglass.
8. Mallet
- It is used for driving any tool with a wooden handle, as a chisel, or for striking
a surface.
9. Extension Ladders
- A fixed ladder divided into two or more lengths for more convenient storage;
the lengths can be slid together for storage or slid apart to expand the length of
the ladder.
MATERIALS
1. Cable Tie
- Also known as hose, zap-strap, or zip tie.
- A type of fastener for holding items together, primarily electric cables or wires.
2. Sealant
- A substance used to block the passage of fluids through the surface or joints or
openings in materials. It serves the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat
transmission.
3. Cable Tag
- It provides you with the ability to create clear, unambiguous cable
identification tags for both indoor and outdoor applications.
4. Grounding Wire
- A wire that’s’ attached to outlets and other electrical devices and then also
securely connected to the ground at the breaker box. This direct physical
connection to the earth is critical, as the earth acts as a reservoir of charge and
can neutralize an electric current.
5. Grounding Rod
- A rod that is driven into the ground to provide electrical connection to the
ground to carry current safely away from a circuit in the event of an electrical
surge.
EQUIPMENT
1. Computer with NIC
- A computer hardware that connects a computer to a computer network.
2. Surge Suppressor
- A device inserted in the alternating current (AC) utility line and/or telephone
line to prevent damage to electronic equipment from voltage “spikes” called
transients.
3. Service Vehicle
- Any licensed vehicle, typically a truck or van, whose primary purpose supports
maintenance and repair work for buildings and grounds or for delivery of
commodities, materials, equipment and tools.
4. Radio Antenna
- An electrical device which converts electric power into radio waves, and vice
versa.

DISCUSSION
In this new era of technology, lots of high-end communication devices with higher
specifications have extremely exposed to the market. These technologies provide everyone to
have an easy access to anywhere in the world most especially in the Business World. All
employees in a certain company are allowed to access brought by these advanced technologies,
the need to increase the data speed is expected. The expansion of broadband for wireless
networks can be qualified to an increasing demand for wireless multimedia services such as voice,
data, video and the development of new wireless standards. There are so many factors that
contribute to the fast developing and unending change of the wireless networks worldwide.
a. Mobile Wireless
a) Third Generation (3G)
b) Fourth Generation (4G)
- Wi-Fi is the first high-speed fixed wireless technology to penetrate the fixed
wireless broadband network.
- The first WLAN (802.11) which was introduced in 1997 was capable of
supporting 2 Mbps and 802.11b was approved by IEEE in 1999. There are
currently many wireless products based on WiFi technologies which include
the approved IEEE 802.11a, b and g specifications, and a yet to be defined
802.11n specification. The impact 802.11n might have when it finally goes to
the market may difficult to quantify at this time, but it is expected to deliver up
to 600 Mbps.
- WiFi as a high-speed wireless technology has enjoyed broad deployment, most
notably in hotspots around the world including homes and offices, and
increasingly in cafes, hotels and airports.
- WiFi coverage area is limited to a maximum of 300 feet radius and high-speed
connectivity is only possible as long as a user remains within the coverage
range of the wireless access point.

TLEd 202 – INTRODUCTION TO ICT 2
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
1. The user can only use the technology within the confines of a 300 feet radius thus limiting
the level of mobility.
2. The fact that the technology operates in the 2.4GHz band which does not require any
licensing, renders it susceptible to interference from other devices such as Bluetooth,
cordless phones, etc.
3. In terms of security, the encryption standard used such as Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) has been shown to be easily breakable.

TLEd 202 – INTRODUCTION TO ICT 2
base station. WiMax will also enable greater mobility, higher speed data
applications, range and throughout than its counterpart, WiFi.
- WiMax uses the IEEE 802.16 standard specifications (802.16d and g). The IEEE
802.16d specification is primarily tailored to wireless wide area networks
(WWANs).
- The recently approved IEEE 802.16e specification, the mobile version of
WiMax, on the other hand is primarily used for mobile wireless metropolitan
networks (WMANs). These two specifications render WiMax architecturally
ideal for the last mile, the backhaul, Internet Service Providers, cellular base
stations that bypass PSTN’s, hotspots, and enterprise networks.
- Abilities such as high bandwidth frequencies between 2 GHz and 11 GHz,
makes WiMax ideal for data transport. WiMax has a total range of up to 30
miles. This ability is enhance by WiMax’s cell radius of 4-6 miles.
Advantages
1. It supports higher throughput rates, higher data speed rates, and wider operating range.
These make the technology very useful for deployment in bad terrain areas or in
environments with limited infrastructure.
2. WiMax supports and interfaces easily to other wired and wireless technologies such as
Ethernet, ATM, VLANs and WiFi.
3. WiMax provides network connectivity that explores multipath signals without the
stringent requirement of a direct line of sight.
4. WiMax provides a better Quality of Service (QoS) by taking advantage of smart antenna
technology that utilizes the spectrum more efficiently.
Disadvantages
1. It is propriety equipment. WiMax equipment must be able to utilize power efficiently in
order to deliver optimum functionality.
2. For WiMax, the output power usage is based on a ranging process that determines the
correct timing offset and power settings. Therefore, the transmissions for each subscriber
station are supposed to be such that they arrive at the base station at the proper time and
at the same time.
3. When WiMax is deployed outdoors, in non-line-of-sight environments, it may encounter
delay, which can cause potential intersymbol interference.
4. Though the use of scalable orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SOFDM) is meant
to try and alleviate this problem of generation phase noise, which increases the RF
subsystem cost and complexity.

DISCUSSION
Internet
The Internet is the largest computer network in the world, connecting millions of
computers. A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together.
Page | 18
TLEd 202 – INTRODUCTION TO ICT 2
1. Server
A server is a computer that "serves" many different computers in a network by running
specialized software and storing information. For example, webpages are stored on servers.
2. Client
When you access a webpage, your computer is acting as a client. A client runs familiar
software such as web browsers or email software, and it communicates with the server to get the
information it requires.
In order for your browser to display a webpage, it requests data from the server where
the page is stored. The server processes the request, then sends the data to your browser, where
it is displayed.
URL
To get to a webpage, you can type the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) into a browser.
The URL, also known as the web address, tells the browser exactly where to find the page. The
World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer. Before then,
computers could communicate over the Internet, but there were no webpages.

Browsers
A web browser is the tool you use to access the World Wide Web. Search Engines Search engines
are specialized websites that help you find what you're looking for on the Web. All you have to do
is type in one or more keywords, and the search engine will look for matching websites from all
over the Web.
