USB

Universal Serial Bus is a computer interface for add-on devices

such as printers, scanners, mice, modems, or keyboards. USB

supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps and plug-and-play

installation. You can connect up to 127 devices to a single USB

port.

VoIP

Voice over Internet Protocol is a method to exchange voice, fax,

and other information over the Internet. Voice and fax have

traditionally been carried over traditional telephone lines of the

PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) using a dedicated

circuit for each line. VoIP enables calls to travel as discrete data

packets on shared lines. VoIP is an important part of the

convergence of computers, telephones, and television into a

single integrated information network.

VPN

A virtual private network is a private network that uses “virtual”

connections (tunnels) routed over a public network (usually the

Internet) to provide a secure and fast connection; usually to users

working remotely at home or in small branch offices. A VPN

connection provides security and performance similar to a

dedicated link (for example, a leased line), but at much lower

cost.

WAN

A wide-area network provides a connection over a large

geographic area, such as a country or the whole world. The

bandwidth depends on need and cost, but is usually much lower

than for a LAN.

WAP

Wireless Access Point or Wireless Access Protocol. See also

Access Point.
