WiFi is a wireless network to connect nearby devices with each other and share the Internet via hotspots. Ethernet, on the other hand, is a LAN network standard used in wired LAN. Go through this article to find out more about the features of WiFi and Ethernet and how they are different from each other.What is WiFi?WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity. It defines any network based on the 802.11 standards, allows computers and devices with the required wireless capacity to communicate via radio waves with other computers or devices. IEEE established the 802.11 network standards, which describe how two wireless ... Read More

Both AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Soft Computing use data driven, flexible and nonsystematic tools to solve the problems. The most basic difference between AI and soft computer is that the AI is used to develop intelligent systems, whereas soft computing is used to solve real problems. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between AI and Soft Computing. But before that, let's start with some basics so that it becomes easier to understand the differences between them. What is AI? AI or Artificial Intelligence is a science which deals with making machine intelligence. According to John ... Read More

GPS or Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system developed in 1970 by the US Department of Defense. With time, it became a worldwide global utility and it is now used heavily from mobiles to cars for navigation purposes.Satellite Navigation System is a geospatial positioning system that employs satellites to enable autonomous positioning. It is built on a large network of artificial satellites in the medium-earth orbit that broadcast radio waves. Satellite Navigation Systems assist us in navigating unfamiliar roadways, whether by land, sea, or air.Read through this article to find out more about GPS and Satellite Navigation Systems ...

Data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts are all professionals who work with data in some way. However, they have different roles and responsibilities. Read this article to find out more the job profiles of data scientists, data engineers, and data analysts and how you can distinguish among them. Who is a Data Scientist? A Data Scientist is one who analyses and interprets complex data in digital form. Data scientists are responsible for extracting insights and knowledge from data. They use a variety of techniques, including machine learning, to analyze data and communicate their findings to stakeholders. There are several ... Read More

As an analogy, we can think of connection-oriented services as telephone systems, where a connection needs to be established between a sender and a receiver before they can exchange data. In contrast, connection-less services are like traditional postal systems where data exchange can take place between a sender and a receiver without establishing a connection. Go through this article to find out the major differences between connection-oriented and connection-less services. What is Connection-oriented Service? A connection-oriented service is a data transfer mechanism used at the session layer. In contrast to its opposite, connectionless service, connection-oriented service necessitates establishing a session ... Read More

Computer Architecture is a functional description of the design implementation and requirements of different components of a computer, while Computer Organization provides information about the linking of different operational attributes of the computer system. Read this tutorial to learn more about "computer architecture" and "computer organization" and how they are different from each other. What is Computer Architecture? Computer Architecture is a blueprint for design and implementation of a computer system. It refers to the overall design of a computer system, including the hardware and software components that make up the system and how they interact with each other. Computer ... Read More

Unshielded Twisted Pair or UTP are twisted pair cables that are used to transmit both data and voice, as their frequency range is suitable for transmission. UTPs are more cost-effective and are not needed to be grounded. Shielded Twisted Pair or STP are also a twisted pair cables but are required to be grounded, wants more maintenance, have high data transmission capacity and are costlier than UTP. Read through this article to find out more about UTP and STP cables and how they are different from each other. What are Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cables? IBM invented shielded twisted pair ...

Top-Down Parsing and Bottom-Up Parsing are used for parsing a tree to reach the starting node of the tree. Both the parsing techniques are different from each other. The most basic difference between the two is that top-down parsing starts from top of the parse tree, while bottom-up parsing starts from the lowest level of the parse tree. Read this article to learn more about top-down parsing and bottom-up parsing and how these two parsing techniques are different from each other. What is Top-Down Parsing? Top-Down Parsing technique is a parsing technique which starts from the top level of the ... Read More

Both Substitution Cipher and Transposition Cipher are traditional techniques used in cryptography to encrypt a plaintext into ciphertext in order to prevent it from getting tampered. Read through this article to find out more about Substitution cipher and Transposition cipher and how they are different from each other.What is Substitution Cipher Technique?In the Substitution Cipher technique, each character is substituted with other character/number or other symbol. This technique changes the identity of a character but not its position in the string.A substitution cipher encrypts a text sequence by replacing letters or units of text with other letters or units of ...

A SAN is a network of storage devices that can be accessed by multiple servers or computers. It provides a shared pool of storage space. Each computer on the network can access the storage on the SAN as though they were local disks connected directly to the computer. SAN uses SCSI and SATA protocols.NAS are storage devices that are linked to a network and provide file access services to computer systems. These devices generally include an engine that executes the file services and one or more devices on which data is stored. NAS uses file access protocols such as NFS ... Read More
