The powerpoint presentation is about broadband. What it is, How it works and different irish companies compared and analyzed.

2.  Broadband refers to telecommunication in
which a wide of frequencies(wide band) is
available to transmit information. Because a
wide band of frequencies is available.
 With there different frequency's they can
travel down lots of different channels allowing
more information to be able to be transmitted
at any time.

3.  Baseband is another type of system in which
information is carried in digital form on a
single unmultiplexed signal channel.
 “This usage pertains to a baseband network
such as Ethernet and token ring local area
networks.”

4. DSL CABLE
 DSL is more reliant but  Cable is faster than DSL
slower than cable. however it may not be
as reliant.
 DSL is phone-line
broadband.
 Cable is tv cable

9. A modem is a box where is can convert the computers digital
signal to frequency's to a telephone line or a cable television
line. It makes the frequency's into digital data.

10. Wireless router looks like a modem but the
differences is that a modem is what you use to
actually receive your internet connection through
phone line or cable. A router splits that
connection up so you can use it on multiple
computers.

11.  Much like cable and DSL there are other types of internet such as :
 . Leased Lines
 Local Area Network
 Satellite broadband
 Cellular broadband
 Power-line Internet
 Wireless ISP
 Fiber to the home

12. Onwave is a satlite broadband
system. You do not need a phone line just a
satellite dish.

15.  Each company or individual can get different
broad packages to suite the individual.
.For example someone might get a combined phone line and internet
at a deal price.
.There may be a deal on using broad band on your mobile.
.A business may use a bundle, e.g. different network speeds and
cheaper price.

16.  .Cost
These are the main questions and
 Speed factors you must consider when
choosing a broadband network
 Bundle as each network has different
things to offer.
 Area
Here is a typical
example………

23. I interviewed Colin Baker a Technologist
from TV3/ owner of the store Back from the Future
which is a technology shop located on Ainger
street in Dublin.
Here's what he said about his business and the
broadband he uses in his store………
Back from the future

24. I interviewed Colin Baker the owner of bftf and
asked him some questions and this is what he
said….
- What broadband do you use in your business?
- Why?
- How much do you pay for it?
- Are you happy with it?
“We use UPC because it has the fastest internet speed in Ireland. For example in comparison to eircom, eircoms
fastest speed is UPCs slowest speed. UPCs fastest speed is 100Mb. We need this type of speed for the work we do.
Most businesses would use UPC for the reasons that eircom and emoblie networks like wimax and emoblie are fine
for personal use and everyday downloading etc but with UCPs fibre power broadband and their speed most
businessees would seek their broad band speed.
We also use UPC because the technology behind it is thick copper wire and optic fibre network that offer a lot more.
However we do have a back up internet in case anything goes wrong! We need to in our line of business. Theback up
we use is eircom. We pay 99e per month with UPC and we get unlimited download and upload usage. With UPC
they cater for most areas throughout Ireland but not all. Being a technology store we are extremely happy what UCP
has to offer and the are constantly upgrading and invention new and faster broadband.”
