1. Compare and contrast three data encryption standards for WiMAX networks? [6 marks]
2. Research the security challenges for any two examples of WPAN technologies. [4 marks]
3. Telestra is a company that is licensed to provide wired telecommunication services in Australia. The company has contracted Exetel to assist it with the selection and
implementation of a new field service system. The goal is to provide service technicians with wireless access to the corporate network and a vast electronic library of
technical manuals and schematic diagrams, which would reduce or eliminate the need for staff to carry a large number of books and drawings, especially while servicing
equipment underground or when climbing on transmission towers. In addition, this means that the technicians would be able to immediately read and update the records for all
the equipment, thereby avoiding massive amounts of paperwork as well as potential errors and omissions. However, the company is having trouble deciding on which
technology to adopt handheld cellular, tables with 3G or 4G access, or notebooks equipped with cellular cards. Exetel has asked you to help.
Create a presentation outlining the advantages for Telestra of using digital cellular handsets or cellular wireless cards. Determine the ability of the smaller cellular
handsets (as opposed to notebook computers, which may be difficult to carry everywhere) to display standard PC documents such as Word, Excel, and PDF files, and
evaluate how this could help the company. Because the group you will be presenting to is composed of nontechnical manager, be sure your presentation is
understandable by both technical and nontechnical personnel. Limit yourself to a maximum of 15 PowerPoint slides. [9 marks]

earning Outcome 5, 6
Study was done indepth and the beyond the
obvious, revealing new insights gained. Author
clearly identified the way of the research
approaching by the other researchers and clearly
predicts in which way the research would be
going in future.
Study was in a sufficient depth.
Authors identified the research
progression, and produce
speculation of future research on
the topic with lack of confidence.
Surface study is performed. Author
presented mainly description of
different research and showed the
correlations of the research of the
topic. However, the authors failed to
speculate the future trends of the
research.
Minimal study is performed. The
research consists predominantly of
information collection, and making
simple correlations of different
research work on the topic.
Presentation
Please write the answers in a word document and submit it via EASTS. Use Times new roman/Palatino Linotype/Calibri/Cambria/Arial fonts using 10 to 12 font size.
