EAP-PEAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol-Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) - A mutual authentication method that
uses a combination of digital certificates and another system, such as passwords.
EAP-TLS
(Extensible Authentication Protocol-Transport Layer Security) - A mutual authentication method that uses digital certificates.
EDGE
（
Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution
）
Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), is a digital mobile phone technology that allows increased
data tr ansmission r ates and im proved data tr ansmission r eliability. A lthough techn ically a 3G network techno logy, i t is
generally c lassified as th e unof ficial sta ndard 2.75G, du e to its s lower ne twork speed . EDGE has been introduced into GSM
networks around the world since 2003, initially in North America.
Encryption - Encoding data transmitted in a network.
Ethernet - A networking protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium.
EVDO
（
Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only
）－
is a telecommunications standard for the wireless transmission of data
through radio signals, typically for broadband Internet access. It uses multiplexing techniques such as Code division multiple
access (CDMA) as well as Frequency division duplex (FDD) to maximize the amount of data transmitted. It is standardized by
3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) as part of the CDMA2000 family of standards and has be en adopted by man y
mobile phon e s ervice prov iders around the world – par ticularly those prev iously employing CDMA networks, as opposed to
GSM networks.
Firewall - Technology in the form of hardware and/or software that controls the flow of data between a private and an
unprotected network (which is LAN and Internet) or protects an internal network from attacks from the Internet.
Firmware – Preinstalled software to operate your Mobile Router.
Fragmentation -Breaking a packet into smaller units when transmitting over a network m edium that cannot support the or iginal size
of the packet.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) – Regulates file transfers on the Internet.
Gateway - A device that interconnects networks with different, incompatible communications protocols.
HSDPA
（
High-Speed Down link P acket Acc ess) - i s a 3G (thi rd ge neration) mobile te lephony communications proto col in th e
High-Speed P acket Acc ess (HSP A) fam ily, wh ich a llows networks based on Universal Mob ile Telecommunications S ystem
(UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6,
7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s.
HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) – a s ervice protoco l to tr ansmit docu ments bet ween servers o r fro m a server to a c lient. I s
almost only used on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web.
IP (Internet Protocol) - A protocol used to send data over a network.
IP Address - The IP address identifies every device connected to the Internet through an address that is unique worldwide.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
LAN – Local Area Network; Local computer connection that has few connections to the outside world or none at all.
MAC (M edia Access Con trol) Address - Abbreviation for Med ia Acc ess Con trol; 48 b it identification number of a n etwork card that
generally cannot be changed shown as hexadecimal numbers
Mbps (MegaBits Per Second) - One million bits per second; a unit of measurement for data transmission.
Multicasting - Sending data to a group of destinations at once.
NAT (Network Address Translation) - Abbreviation for Network Address Translation. Method to convert (mostly private) IP addresses of
a network to other (mostly public) IP addresses of another network.
Network - Al so called S SID. Service S et I dentifier; network nam e in W LAN, allows stat ions i n th e W LAN to find the cor rect acces s
point.
Network adap ter - Ano ther word for N etwork Ca rd. T he network card is the d evice tha t estab lishes th e conn ection b etween th e
network (wireless or wired) and the computer.
Node - A network junction or connection point, typically a computer or work station.
OFDM (Orthog onal Fr equency Di vision Mu ltiplexing) - Frequency tr ansmission tha t separ ates the data stream into a number of
lower-speed data streams, which are then transmitted in parallel to prevent information from being lost in transit.
Packet - A unit of data sent over a network.
