0 Introduction
The latest development in networks and communication means the improvement in networks
and communication services and products which really useful for IT user. It is also much
better from the previous contains.
2.1 Definition
Mobile Computing is a generic term describing your ability to use technology 'untethered',
that is not physically connected, or in remote or mobile (non static) environments. The term is
evolved in modern usage such that it requires that the mobile computing activity be
connected wirelessly to and through the internet or to and through a private network. This
connection ties the mobile device to centrally located information and/or application software
through the use of battery powered, portable, and wireless computing and communication
devices. This includes devices like laptops with wireless LAN or wireless WAN technology,
smart mobile phones, wearable computers and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
with Bluetooth or IRDA interfaces.

3.0 Internet Technology And Services
Internet Services Technology covers a broad range of technologies used for web
development, web production, design, networking, and e-commerce. The field also covers
Internet programming,website maintenance, Internet architect, and web master.
3.1 VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a general term for a family of transmission
technologies for delivery of voice communications over IP networks such as the Internet or
other packet-switched networks. Other terms frequently encountered and synonymous with
VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, voice over broadband (VoBB), broadband
telephony, and broadband phone.
3.2 Blog
One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or
scale.For historical reasons, the networking industry refers to nearly every type of design as
some kind of area network. Common examples of area network types are:
• PAN
• WLAN
• WiMAX
• VPN
4.1 PAN
A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among
computerdevices (including telephones and personal digital assistants) close to one person.
The devices mayor may not belong to the person in question. The reach of a PAN is typically
a few meters. PANscan be used for communication among the personal devices themselves
(intrapersonal communication), or for connecting to a higher level network and the Internet
(an uplink).Personal area networks may be wired with computer buses such as USB and
FireWire. A wireless personal area network (WPAN) can also be made possible with network
technologies such as IrDA,Bluetooth, UWB, Z-Wave and ZigBee.
4.2 VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between
nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits in some larger networks (such as the
Internet), as opposed to running across a single private network. The Link Layer protocols of
the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the transport network. One common
application is to secure communications through the public Internet, but a VPN does not need
to have explicit security features such as authentication or content encryption. For example,
VPNs can also be used to separate the traffic of different user communities over an
underlying network with strong security features, or to provide access to a network via
customized or private routing mechanisms.
4.3 WLAN
A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless local area network that links two or more computers
or devices using spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation technology based to enable
communication between devices in a limited area. This gives users the mobility to move
around within a broad coverage area and still be connected to the network.
4.4 WiMAX
5.0 Conclusion
The latest development in networks and communication brings more useful to IT user which
can makes lifes way easier in networking and communicate.
