Let me give you some background to our company's setup.
Jumbo Book Store is a company based in Thailand. It has three book stores and a
warehouse next to one of the book shops. The store manager, Amiki Sukhon, finds it
very difficult to track sales because he uses handwritten sales reports that employees
prepare every day. The driver takes the reports and delivers them to the main office.
Every day it takes 5 to 6 hours to compile data about the sales. Based on these sales
reports, Amiki writes purchase orders for new books, sales figures for the owner and
customer information for the marketing department.
In addition, he often gets calls from customers complaining about poor information
about available books and stationary products in the warehouse.
Could you spend some time looking at how we can improve our processes?

TO: All Employees
From: IT Director
Subject: Online transactions security
We are developing new website security features. We will have a virtual private
network with a firewall which will help stop cyber attacks on the network perimeter.
The web application protection firewall (WAF) will protect our website from hacker
attacks on customer contacts and login boxes. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) will create
a secure connection for the users. We will have two-factor authentication (2FA).
Website administrators will go through two layers of security before they access the
hosting environment. This will prevent password leaks. All data will have encrypted
backup to protect sensitive information.
I am sure the company will benefit from the new security measures.
Thank you

Dear Agatha
Following our meeting last week, please find my recommendations for your business.
I think you (1)
set up a LAN, or Local Area Network, and a WAN, or Wide
Area Network, for your needs. A (2)
connects devices over a small area,
for example your apartment and the shop. In addition, you should connect office
(3)
, such as the printer, scanner and fax machine, to your LAN because
you can then share these devices between users.
I'd recommend that we connect the LAN to a (4)
. so you can link to the
Internet and sell your products. In addition, I'd (5)
_ we set up a Virtual
Private Network so that you have a (6)
access to your company's LAN,
when you travel.
(7)
is a private network that uses a public network, usually the
(8)
, to connect remote sites or users together.
Let's meet on Friday to discuss these recommendations.

You should connect office equipment to the LAN because you can
then share devices between users.
I'd recommend a Dell computer because it is cheaper.
Why do you use encryption?
Because it's safer.

Read these t e x t s a n d a n s w e r these q u e s t i o n s .
Range
Wireless networks have limited range. Network range depends on the type of
802.11 protocol, strength of the device transmitter and the architecture of the
surrounding area. Some structures, such as walls and metal frames, reduce the
range of a WLAN by 2 5 % . However, users can extend the range of a WLAN.
Repeaters forward the wireless signal to access points or routers and increase
the range of a network.
Speed
Bandwidth and latency are the measures of computer network speed, or data
transfer rate. Bandwidth is the maximum throughput of data in bits per second.
Some modems support 100 Gbit/s but speed depends on the hardware and
software used. Latency is the delay that network creates during the transfer
data. Users have no, or very little, control over bandwidth and latency.
