This module describes the skills, knowledge and attitude required to design, configure and administer small networks. The trainee will be able to conduct network site survey, implement physical topology, provide access to the media, enable connection via wireless technology, implement the internet protocol to network, and implement application protocol to interact with the end-user. At the end of this module, the trainee will be able to select, arrange, different material equipments and tools when conducting setting up small network.
The ability to communicate with people on the move has evolved remarkably since Guglielmo Marconi first demonstrated radio's ability to provide continuous contact with ships sailing the English channel. That was in 1897, and since then new wireless communications methods and services have been enthusiastically adopted by people throughout the world. Particularly during the past years, the mobile radio communications industry has grown by orders of magnitude, fuelled by digital and RF circuit fabrication improvements, new large-scale circuit integration, and other miniaturization technologies which make portable radio equipment smaller, cheaper, and more reliable. Digital switching techniques have facilitated the large scale deployment of affordable, easy-to-use radio communication networks.
