1. Explain the business benefits of using wireless technology.
Firstly, wireless technology or communication is the transfer of information without the use of 'wires' (hence the name wireless).
the benefits include access to information on a universal level, allows for business to be conducted at all hours of the day every day of the week and also allow for 'real time' transactions to be made.

2. Describe the business benefits associated with VoIP
VoIP relates to voice calls occuring over the internet. Businesses are thus then able to communicate with their partners overseas and for businesses to expand internationally. It increases the speed in which things are done as communication between two parties is easier and quicker and also minimises costs due to online conferencing for example through Skype.
3. Compare LANs and WANs
LANs refer to Local Area Networks where as WANs refer to Wide Area Networks. LANs allow people to connect a group of computers in a local area for example a house (if many computers are used) or a university. WANs are needed though for a state or country as it often connects smaller networks together.

4. Describe RFID and how it can be used to help make a supply chain more effective.
RFID is Radio Frequenced Identification technologies which use chips to store unique identifiers. It can reduce costs as not as many employees are needed to scan items, and can check the progress of an item (for
customers) which is going through the supply chain.

5. Identify the advantages and disadvantage of deploying mobile technology
Advantages include ubiquity (smartphones can be used to surf the internet at any time and at most places), convenience (consumers are able to attain real-time data), instant connectivity (boot-up processes are not associated with mobile phone and their connectivity to the internet and thus it is not a problem), and customisation (this is easy as products or websites can be customised due to place and preferences)
