Modern high-speed technology used in latestgeneration wireless networks. Think fast (3G), faster <br />(4G), fastest (4G LTE). <br />The landline link that carries voice and data between a wireless tower and the larger network. <br />Banco,,,nsir_'; How much data a network can handle. More bandwidth means more people can use it for more applications. <br />- Units for measuring digital information, or data. A "bit" is the basic unit of information in <br />computing and digital communications consisting of either a "0" or a "1". 8 Bits =1 Byte. 1000 Bytes = Megabyte. 1000 <br />Megabytes = Gigabyte. A Gigabyte is equal to 894,000 pages of plain text. <br />- Internet access that is faster to upload and download than traditional dial-up access. Broadband can be <br />accessed through the use of a desktop computer, laptop or mobile device. <br />Atechnologyusedtotransmitwirelesscallsbyassigning them codes. Callsare <br />spread out over the widest range of available channels. Then codes allow many calls to travel on the same frequency and <br />also guide those calls to the correct receiving phone. In the U.S., CDMA carriers include: Alaska Communications System, <br />Carolina West, CellCom/nSight, Bluegrass Cellular, Leap Wireless, Sprint, U.S. Cellular and Verizon Wireless. <br />Placement of multiple antennas at a common site. Some companies act as brokers or cell site managers, <br />arranging cell sites and coordinating many carriers' antennas at a single cell site. <br />A producer of information that users access over the Internet. E-books, movies, TV programs, music, <br />news and garnes are common examples of content accessed over the Internet and produced by content providers. <br />Adding voice and data capacity to a wireless network by adding more cell sites within a given area. When the <br />same number of users is spread over more sites, they each get better service and more consistent data speeds. <br />-.s 1-1}3 Technology that uses many antennas spread across an area (or within a building) <br />instead of one big tower with a few antennas on top. A DAS can be inside (like a basketball arena) or outside (like a football <br />stadium) and in many specific cases can provide users with more capacity and better service. <br />zee ri; The third generation CDMA technology. The U.S. had 74.6 million subscribers in 4Q 2009 <br />out of 124.6 million (or 23 percent of all subscribers). This means the U.S. had 60 percent of all EVDO subscribers in the world. <br />The modern equivalent of copper wire, but instead of using electricity to transmit information, fiber uses pulses of <br />light. Fiber supports the transmission of much more data than traditional wired connections <br />How modern computers and devices talk to each other. The common "language" that advanced <br />forms of technology can understand and use to communicate with each other. IP technology enables seamless <br />communication of voice, data and Internet applications on wireless and wireline networks and among various devices (TVs, <br />phones, laptops, tablets, vehicles, machines, etc.). Compared to older networks, IP networks allow new technologies, inno- <br />vative uses, and cutting edge applications while at the same time supporting voice and other traditional applications. <br />Any device or service that uses Internet Protocol and/or the Internet to deliver an end product (such <br />as voice, video, or data) to a consumer or business. <br />- All of the hardware and software that make the Internet work. IP infrastructure includes all the fiber, wire, <br />network equipment, facilities and associated software that can communicate and transmit in IP. Building and expanding <br />the IP infrastructure will generate jobs at every stage of the process, from the physical installation of new network <br />infrastructure, to network management, to the thousands of new businesses andjobs that will result from the <br />burgeoning high-speed IP broadband economy. <br />The wired or wireless signal into your home/business that connects your device to our network, <br />which in turn connects it to the world. <br />
