What is GSB and WMM? Let me explain you about GSB and WMM in a way that helps you easily understand their role in wireless communication. Both of these are related to how data is managed and prioritized over Wi-Fi networks, especially in real-time applications like voice or video calls where timing and quality matter … Read more
What should be the 802.11n mode? Let me guide you through this in a way that helps you choose the best mode for 802.11n based on your usage. As you and I explore wireless network settings, it’s important to understand how the mode you select can impact both speed and compatibility. The 802.11n mode is … Read more
What is VHT Mode? Let me help you understand what VHT mode means, especially if you’re trying to make sense of your Wi-Fi settings or planning to optimize your network. VHT stands for Very High Throughput, and it’s a part of the IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. When you see VHT mode mentioned, it refers to … Read more
What is the difference between NodeB and eNodeB? Today, I’ll help you understand the difference between NodeB and eNodeB, and we’ll also relate it to what we previously explored around LTE architecture. If you remember, we’ve already talked about how LTE evolved from UMTS, and that transition directly impacts the shift from NodeB to eNodeB. … Read more
What is 2×2 mu-MIMO? Let me walk you through the idea of 2×2 mu-MIMO in a way that helps you understand it simply and clearly. If you’ve ever heard of MIMO, you might remember it stands for Multiple Input, Multiple Output. Now, when we add “2×2” and “mu-” (which stands for multi-user), we’re getting a … Read more
Is an Antenna Passive or Active? Today, as we continue exploring topics around LTE and network communication, let’s understand the nature of antennas. You’ve probably come across both the terms “passive antenna” and “active antenna,” and it’s completely normal to wonder what makes one different from the other, or which one is typically used in … Read more
What type of antenna to receive DTT? Today, as we explore Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), it’s important that I help you understand what kind of antenna you really need to receive it properly. Earlier, when we discussed concepts like signal strength, interference, and LTE bands, you might have noticed how essential the right equipment is … Read more
What is Network RSRP? Today, I’ll explain to you what Network RSRP is and how it helps you understand the signal strength in LTE networks. Earlier, when we explored concepts like RSRQ and SINR, you saw how signal quality plays a role. Now let’s focus on RSRP — short for Reference Signal Received Power — … Read more
What is the Point of Having an eSIM? Today, we are going to discuss eSIM and how it benefits you in the world of modern telecommunications. As we learned about traditional SIM cards in earlier discussions, an eSIM is a significant evolution in how mobile networks work. Let me walk you through the concept of … Read more
What is TAC and TAI in LTE? Today, we are going to dive into two important concepts in LTE networks: TAC (Tracking Area Code) and TAI (Tracking Area Identity). If you are familiar with some of the earlier topics we discussed, you’ll notice that TAC and TAI play a crucial role in helping the network … Read more
