Wireless networking has become one of the fastest growing trends in the home computer market. The latest complete standard, 802.11n (or “wireless-N”), is capable of speeds faster than many wired networks and has better range and reliability than its predecessors. However, a replacement standard called 802.11ac (or “wireless-AC”) is already on the drawing board and some manufacturers have even released products using the incomplete standard.
802.11ac, expected to have final approval in 2013, improves upon many of the new technologies that debuted in the 802.11n standard. Wireless-N typically connects at speeds up to 150Mbps, with some higher end devices capable of an impressive 300Mbps or even 450Mbps. However, wireless-AC promises to triple those speeds so the lower end devices using wireless-AC will be as fast as the highest-end devices using the current 802.11n standard and the higher end devices will be able to outperform today’s fastest wired connections. While wireless-N is already fast enough for most current network needs, including streaming HD video, the 802.11ac standard promises to allow even higher quality media to be streamed to multiple devices at the same time.
In addition to huge speed increases, the new standard also promises better range and reliability. Although the overall technology behind it is complex, there are two features of 802.11ac that make the biggest difference. Firstly, wireless-AC will use the 5GHz wireless spectrum, which helps to avoid interference with wireless phones and many other devices (including older wireless-G and wireless-B networks) that use the 2.4GHz frequency.
let’s know about fiber optics
Fiber optics is a type of transmission line or cable is made of glass or plastic is very smooth and smaller than a hair, and can be used to transmit light signals from one place to another. The light source used is usually a laser or LED. This cable is approximately 120 micrometers in diameter. Light that is in the optical fiber does not come out because the refractive index of glass is greater than the refractive index of air, because the laser has a very narrow spectrum. Speed optical fiber transmission is very high so it is great to use as a communication channel. The efficiency of the optical fiber is determined by the purity of the building blocks of glass / glass. The more pure glass material, the less light is absorbed by the fiber optics.
Structure of Fiber Optics
Broadly speaking, the structure of the optical fiber is divided into two parts, namely core and cladding (wrapping of the core). Caldiing have a function to protect the light that bounces off the core leads out to be reflected back into the core. Cladding can reflects the light from the core that leads out because the cladding have a lower refractive index.
In fact the optical fiber is also wrapped in a layer called resin-called jacket. This resin layer can absorb the light so as to prevent leakage that leads out of the core.
Types of Optical Fiber
Broadly speaking, the distribution of types of optical fibers can be seen from two aspects, namely based on the propagated mode and based on the core refractive index.
a. Based on the propagated mode optical fiber can be divided into two general categories:
Google’s secure data centers are some of the most energy efficient in the world. Each year we save millions of dollars on energy costs, and we use renewable energy whenever we can.

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing and storage capacity as a service to a community of end-recipients. The name comes from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol as an abstraction for the complex infrastructure it contains in system diagrams. Cloud computing entrusts services with a user’s data, software and computation over a network.
There are three types of cloud computing:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
- Platform as a Service (PaaS),
- Software as a Service (SaaS).
Using Software as a Service, users also rent application software and databases. The cloud providers manage the infrastructure and platforms on which the applications run.
End users access cloud-based applications through a web browser or a light-weight desktop or mobile app while the business software and user’s data are stored on servers at a remote location. Proponents claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and enables IT to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable business demand.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the Internet).At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.

Chocolate is one of the many culinary favored people in the entire hemisphere. Chocolateoften go shopping list and a lot of people keep it to eat later.
But, what if the chocolate is too expensive and the price is difficult to reach the common man? Here are the five most expensive type of chocolate in the world:
Price: U.S. $ 2,600 per 450 grams
Place: Norwalk, Connecticut
Chocopolagie discovered by Fritz Knipschildt, a culinary chef who studied in Denmark. In 1999, Knischildt created one of the most delicious chocolate in the world. The mostexpensive chocolate is priced U.S. $ 250 (about USD 2.5 million) per piece for the dark chocolate truffle. Black truffles in it comes from France and is only available if booked in advance. Truffle Valhrona consists of 70 percent cocoa Ganache mixed with soft andhandmade truffle oil. As a final touch, truffle dusted with cocoa powder.
Practical way do the activities with the Green Robot-based tablet
Tablet computers more and more worldwide thanks to its practicality. Variety of systems used were varies. There are IOS for the iPad, there are the BlackBerry is a supporter of the tablet computer latest release, Playbook. However, the tablet that is currently circulating in the market instead using the Android operating system. This is understandable, given the homemade operating system Google is open source and supported by many computer vendors tablet computers. The average computer Android tablet computer currently available using the Android operating system 2.1 (Eclair) and 2.2 (Froyo). In fact, some of them are still using a version of Donut. Google itself actually did not design Eclair and Froyo for use in computer tablet computers. But with the firmware modification by the vendor, both operating systems can be used in digital slate. For use on a tablet computer, Google itself Honeycomb released version which is intended in large sailing gadgets.
Many options Tablets
There are many options Android-based tablet. A well-known example Samsung Galaxy Tab and Dell
Streak. Another option is the output of products Archos, Huawei, Acer, Asus, to Toshiba. brand Local was also there as Tabulet, Toshiba, and also Zyrex. Interestingly enough attention is imitator “iPad” and “Galaxy” Android applying China’s production is priced by cheap.This proves that the Android tablet a favorite because the choice is quite a lot. Android tablet is also a choice of mobile workers who want a more practical gadgets than the already tiny netbook.]
