7.Wireless DevicesModule Brief:
A typical wireless infrastructure comprises devices that connect to the network. These devices are used to make up a typical wireless infrastructure.
This module discusses the various wireless devices that make up a typical wireless infrastructure. It also explains how to add wireless network to a wired network.
8.Fundamentals of RFIDModule Brief:
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is an automatic identification technique that stores and retrieves data using devices known as RFID tags, or transponders. It transmits the identity of an object in the form of a unique serial number with the help of radio waves. RFID wireless transmission of data takes place between the data-carrying devices and its reader.
This module discusses in detail about the fundamentals of RFID, components of RFID system, RFID system architecture, and applications of RFID system. It also discusses RFID standards used for automatic identification and item management.
9.Wireless VoIPModule Brief:
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology is used to route voice over the Internet or through any other Internet protocol–based network. It allows users to make voice calls using an Internet connection. With a VoIP system, users can make a call from a computer, special VoIP phone, or traditional phone with an adapter to another computer or phone.
This module familiarizes with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), types of VoIP technologies, mobile VoIP, wireless VoIP, and wireless VoIP standards and protocols. This module also explains the need of software support for VoIP, challenges for building successful wireless VoIP products, and different attacks on wireless VoIP.
10.Wireless SecurityModule Brief:
Wired and wireless network communications each have pros and cons; wired networks offer more and better security options than the wireless networks. A wireless network provides users the freedom to move from place to place within the network with uninterrupted connectivity.
This module familiarizes with wireless security, types of wireless attacks, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and SSID (Service Set Identifier). It also discusses the various steps for hacking wireless networks. It also explains how to secure the wireless network from the various attacks.
