There are several types of computer and mobile networks to connect world’s digital devices to communicate and share data with each other. These communication technologies provide an efficient way of connecting devices for data sharing and internet access. In this article, we will discuss the major differences between cellular and WiFi networks. The basic difference between the two is that a WiFi network uses micro and radio waves to provide high-speed data transfer among different computing devices, whereas a cellular network uses mobile towers to enable mobile device communication and provide internet access on the device. Other important differences between ... Read More

A Malware is a malicious program that is used by attackers to perform illegal operations on a user's machine, such as stealing personal information, corrupting system/network, encrypting data for "ransom" or deleting the data, etc.An Adware is a program that displays Ads during its execution. Developers get money from this advertisement. This application may capture user activity and display ads accordingly. An attacker can misuse this feature of adware and can compromise the system security.Read through this article to find out more about Malware and Adware and how they are different from each other.What is a Malware?Malware is any program ...

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a protocol used for 2G and 3G communication. In CDMA, a channel carries all types of transmission simultaneously without division of bandwidth or time. Data from different stations is transmitted simultaneously using different code modulation.Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a high-performance interface for cellular mobile communications. It supports high-speed networks and at present, it is the fastest network protocol for smartphones and mobile phones.Read through this article to find out more about CDMA and LTE and how they are different from each other.What is CDMA?CDMA uses a single channel to carry all signals at the ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
