BSID (Base station identification) – base station digital

BSID (Base station identification) – base station digital
CINR (Carrier to Interference + Noise Ratio) — the ration of signal to noise, a measurement of
signal effectiveness is expressed in Decibels. In order for a receiver to correctly process a received
signal, the CINR of that signal must be at the correct CINR level. Acceptable Values: you want CINR
to be closer to 30 than to 10; any value of 20 or more can be considered a "good signal"; any value of 15
or less will probably trigger your modem to try to swap to another tower.
CM (Connection manager ) –A function for the control, provision and maintenance of services
offered by the network; for example SMS (Short Message Service), teleservices and location based
services.
CPE (Clients personal equipment) - clients network equipment (Telephone equipment, such as

subscribers can download emails with large files, listen to the music or watch online tv.
Indoor modem – modem, to be installed and used indoors.
ІР-address – unique address, which identifies the subscriber in the world wide web. UA-IX –

RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) — received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is a
measurement of the power present in a received radio signal, is expressed in Decibels (The higher,
the better (-70 better, than -91).
Wi-Fi - is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly
(using radio waves) over a computer network, including high-speed Internet connections. A
device that can use Wi-Fi (such as a personal computer, video game console, smartphone, tablet,
or digital audio player) can connect to a network resource such as the Internet via a wireless
network access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 feet)
indoors and a greater range outdoors. Hotspot coverage can comprise an area as small as a single
room with walls that block radio waves or as large as many square miles — this is achieved by
using multiple overlapping access points.
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) - a wireless communications
standard designed to provide 30 to 40 megabit-per-second data rates,[1] with the 2011 update
providing up to 1 Gbit/s for fixed stations. It is a part of a “fourth generation,” or 4G, of
wireless-communication technology. WiMax far surpasses the 30-metre wireless range of a
conventional Wi-Fi local area network (LAN), offering a metropolitan area network with a
signal radius of about 50 km. WiMax offers data-transfer rates that can be superior to
conventional cable-modem and DSL connections, however, the bandwidth must be shared
among multiple users and thus yields lower speeds in practice.
USB - (Universal Serial Bus) - provides an expandable, Plug and Play serial interface that
ensures a standard, low-cost connection for peripheral devices such as keyboards, pointing
devices, digital cameras, printers, portable media players, disk drives and network adapters to
personal computers, both to communicate and to supply electric power. It has become
commonplace on other devices, such as smartphones, PDAs and video game consoles.[3] USB
has effectively replaced a variety of earlier interfaces, such as serial and parallel ports, as well as
separate power chargers for portable devices.

Base station (BS) – a base station is a radio receiver/transmitter that serves as the hub of the
local wireless network, and may also be the gateway between a wired network and the wireless
network.
WLAN - A wireless local area network (WLAN) links two or more devices using some wireless
distribution method (typically spread-spectrum or OFDM radio), and usually providing a
connection through an access point to the wider internet. This gives users the mobility to move
around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network
Wireless network - refers to any type of computer network that is not connected by cables of
any kind. It is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business)
installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection
between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally
implemented and administered using a transmission system called radio waves. This
implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.
Web browser - is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information
resources on the World Wide Web.

Subscriber and Operator (in any form (written or oral), order and way), for which the operator is
obligated to provide services requested by the Subscriber and the Subscriber undertakes to pay
for these services.
Additional services - Services, provided by the Operator to the Subscriber, subject to the last to
receive main telecommunication services under the Agreement on the provision of
telecommunications services (agreed between the Subscriber and the Operator in both written
and oral form), aimed at increasing customer value and are paid by Subscriber separately from
the payment for main services (tariff payment).
Coverage area – geographical area, where the equipment of Operator’s telecommunication
network is placed and where Operator can deliver telecommunication Services with acceptable
quality and performance.

Local Area NetworkA (LAN) - is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited
area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media.[1] The
defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their
usually higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic area, and lack of a need for leased
telecommunication lines.
Router - a device that forwards data packets between computer networks, creating an overlay
internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a
data packet comes in on one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to
determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table or routing policy,
it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Routers perform the "traffic directing"
functions on the Internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another
through the networks that constitute the internetwork until it gets to its destination node.

conditions of selected tariff subscribers).
Service Access - an access mode for the customer to the Operator’s network without any
additional charges at the speed up to 64 kbit / s to upload and download data. "Service Access" is
available for individuals on pre-paid or contract basis in accordance with the terms of tariff
usage. Customers on contract basis, who use service access mode, are obliged to make monthly
payments for that period. Additional information is available on the Operators official website.
Internet connection speed – internet access speed at a certain period of time.
It should be concerned, that actual speed depends on certain factors:
• the distance between the Subscriber’s location and BS;
• weather conditions;
• the number of subscribers services by BS;
• Subscriber’s location (indoor, outdoor, car etc.);
• type of premises, where the Subscriber is located (building made of bricks, wall building etc);

frequently with commercial content, in large quantities to an indiscriminate set of recipients. The
consumer cannot stop spam by simply informing the customer or sender about it.
Tariff (tariff plan) – the set of charges for the Service established by the Operator. The tariff
also includes information about the conditions on which the Service is provided, namely, upload
and download speed, traffic billing, its period (terms of payment period etc.)
Telecommunications network - Transmission systems and, where applicable, switching
equipment and other resources which permit the conveyance of signals between defined
termination points by wire, radio, optical or other electromagnetic means.
Telecommunications Service (Service) - a service access to the World Wide Web, which is the

Access points (Access point, AP) - are often called hubs, routers or base stations. To indicate
this device terms subscriber's gateway or Internet gateway are also used. Despite the large
number of synonyms, they all define the same components of the wireless network. All
computers within the network communicate via a particular device. The access point plays a role
of central station that transmits and receives data.

while others add functionality that allows you to customize your desktop and user interface. In
general, programs that help make your computer better are considered utilities.
Landline - telecommunications, which are implemented using stationary (fixed) terminal
equipment.
