Question

Case One businesses rely heavily on mobile telephony and satellite Rural Africa Reaches to the sky for Internet Access technology In Africa, only about 16 percent of the population has Sky Vision has stepped into the African market and other access to the Internet. By comparison, emerging markets with customized satellite-based virtual about 63 percent of private networks that are supporting economic development. he population in Europe has Internet access. Furthermore, The VPN allows companies to connect their WAN sites to Internet connectivity is plagued by the low bandwidth, share data and support significantly more efficient unreliability, and high cost. Overcoming this digital collaboration. Through its satellite systems, Skyvision is able divide is not an easy task, as the continent lacks to offer reliable broadband and high-speed data services to terrestrial connectivity between the submarine cables, the most remote locations. the Internet exchange points-the infrastructure For example, only 12 percent of the rural population in Internet service providers CISP) need to exchange traffic Zimbabwe have access to banking services. Banks simply between their different networks-and last mile' delivery cannot provide connectivity to rural areas where 65 percent of the population lives. SkyVision VPN connected the systems. As a result, individuals, organizations, and

Explanation / Answer

a. Media type offered by Google to solve the issue of connectivity by using fibre optics network for high speed internet.

Media used by SkyVision Technology is customised satellite based vitrtual private network.

The advantage of fibre optics are

Bandwidth - Fibre optic cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables

Safety- As it is dielectric there is less chance of hazard caused by spark.

The diadvantage of fibre optics are

Cost-Fibre optics is expensice compared to others.

Transmission- Transmission on optical fibres requires repeting at distance interval

The advantaged of using virtual private network are

We can acces the restricted content like using a particular site.

We can bypass the web cencorship and content surveillance

B.The main reason for Sky vision technolgy to be available before Google's project link is that the use of vitural private network has helped them a lot.As it is cheaper and can be easliy used,

C.Comparing the media used by skyvision technology and project link are as follows

Maintainence

THe mainataince cost is higher afor optical fibre than virtual private network

Long Term Cost

For optical fibre the initial investment is high as the cables are expensive but also the cables last longer than the copper wire.But for skyvision initial cost is low where has long term cost is high as after every moths it needs to be changed

D.Three competitve advantages are :

There can be high speed connectivity which is very much needed for the transaction which is going on with the bank

The data security is high for fibre optics.In case of the bank the security of the data is the most important thing.

Also fibre optics provide high bandwith over a long distance.

The risk associated wth fibre optics are

During any repairment of the optics no should directly look into the fibre as it may damage the retina

Also dealing with pieces should be done with extreme caution as if any of the parts goes inside human body then it will cause internal bleeding.
