Data Communication

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how the delight of personal cable modem and broadband devotees own "got no strings" status at their home office spaces has encouraged many corporations to also eschew SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocols) modem technology in exchange for the use of wireless technology on a wider scale. It also looks at how fully implementing wireless instrumentation on network scale has been an elusive goal for many industries because of cost and logistical problems.

From the Paper:

"Today, many dream of replacing all forms of SLIP cables with wireless technology. In the case of one company's deployment of an underground wireless installation, despite the fact that "the temperatures ranged from 120 F to 150 F with 100% humidity" and "water and mud spray were everywhere and the receiver was on a platform across an access road and on the other side of the steel oil derrick", the "product worked as designed", and no "condensation of buildup appeared inside the box", and communication continued as per usual with SLIP data rings. (Drake, 2003) Even the use of the largest and sturdiest slip ring type could not have withstood such an onslaught."
