Question

I need answer with explanation

XYZ Corp. decides to set up mobile computing for its field engineers. Each field engineer is to be supplied with a laptop, a portable fax/printer, and some kind of wireless transmission device.

Required result: Field engineers must be able to send and receive e-mail with employees at the headquarters.

Optional desired results: The wireless technology should be as inexpensive as possible. It should also be secure from electronic eavesdropping.

Proposed solution: The network manager recommends leasing a cellular link from GTE MobilNet for $2500 a month plus air-time charges and encryption fees. Which results does this solution deliver? Explain your answer.

A. The proposed solution delivers the required result and both optional desired results. B. The proposed solution delivers the required result and only one of the two optional desired results. C. The proposed solution delivers the required result but neither optional desired result. D. The proposed solution does not deliver the required result.

Explanation / Answer

B. The quest for mobile computing for its field engineers depends on use of cellular modems to connect remote computers with the organization's LAN. Because the plan also includes encryption fees, even though the traffic is broadcast, it's safe to assume that encryption makes eavesdropping a waste of time. But since cellular technologies are not the cheapest, the solution fails to meet the requirement that it be as cheap as possible. Thus the answer is b, yet again, since the required result and one of the optional desired results is met.
