Introduction
Imagine working on your laptop or checking
e-mailfrom anywhere in the department.
Now , imagine
doing all thesethings
easily and quickly,
withoutworrying
about finding a wired
network connection.
That is Wi-Fi !
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless using radio waves.
Allows you to access the Internet while on the move ; you can remain online while moving from one area to another, without a disconnection or loss in coverage
IEEE 802.11 Standard
In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) drafted the 802.11 standard for wireless local area networking.
In 1999, networking hardware companies accepted the standard and began manufacturing products using the 802.11b protocol which operated in the 2.4 GHz range and was capable of transmitting at speeds of 11 Mbps.
The 802.11a protocol was also released in 1999, operating at 5 GHz with transmissions speeds of 54 Mbps, but its cost was high.
What is a Hotspot ?
A Hotspot is any location where Wi-Fi network access is made publicly available.
Hotspots are equipped with a Broadband Internet connection, and one or more Access Points that allow users to access the Internet wirelessly.
Hotspots can be setup in any public location that can support an Internet connection.
How a Wi-Fi network works?
A Wi-Fi connection works
through a transmitting antenna,
which is usually connected to a
DSL or cable Internet connection.
The antenna on the router will
then beam radio signals through
a specific range. Another antenna,
which is on the laptop or personal
computer, receives the signal.

Overview of wireless and mobile technologies.
Advances in signal processing technologies are a technological driver for wireless technologies. Different technologies like 3G (WAN), WLAN (LAN), Bluetooth (PAN) and WiMAX (MAN) target different applications and markets. Since most of the frequency spectrum is still regulated in the different countries, newer technologies aim for non-regulated bands such as the 2.4GHz and 5GHz ISM bands.
In order to fully exploit untethered operation, wireless devices are fitted with roaming and handover protocols like 802.11r or Mobile IP. Layer 2 protocols typically provide faster handover but are restricted to specific link layer protocols. Layer 3 or higher protocols like Mobile IP are independent of the link layer thus work across heterogeneous networks.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
6. Let’s talk acronyms and buzzwords
What Stands for Notes
ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line “Asymmetric” is important. Original broadband
VDSL Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line Used with FTTC, max 80Mb/s down, 20 up
G.fast G-series DSL Used with cabinet < 500M away, max 330Mb
FTTC Fibre To The Cabinet, aka “Fibre” You want this for intensive use
FTTP/H/B Fibre To The Premises / Home /
Building, aka “Full Fibre”
Only available to 8% of premises. Price
competitive if you don’t need a landline phone.
LLU Local Loop Unbundling Competitors to BT can install equipment in BT
Exchanges = cheaper internet on those.
Superfast >30Mb/s d/l, usually FTTC Available at 95% of UK premises 1
Ultrafast >300Mb/s d/l, usually ‘cable’ or G.fast 54% of UK premises, often via Virgin Media

13. Which? ISP customer satisfaction survey
Performance can vary a lot regionally.
The same provider can do well in one
borough and poorly in the next due to
hidden factors in their networks.
So local knowledge (my friend next door
uses X and is happy with them) is worth
as much as these national surveys.
22. WiFi acronyms and buzzwords
