Digital libraries have been widely applied in educational institutions in Indonesia as a complement conventional libraries. The purpose of this research is to know division computer network access at the Adisutjipto Intitute of Technology (STTA) library. The research method used is a qualitative method using Prepare Plan Design Implement Operate and Optimize (PPDIOO). The result research is that people who have internet access will not be able to enter the digital library network. Computer network users who want to access digital libraries must log into the computer network that provides digital books in the library using a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Making this VLAN requires a computer network infrastructure in the form of a Local Area Network (LAN) and computer network equipment in the form of a switch that can be used to configure multiple VLANs in a LAN. Some of the existing services in the library are placed on one VLAN and the digital library is placed on another VLAN. From the test results, it can be seen that between computers that provide services in the library on VLAN 2 cannot communicate via the connecting network to VLAN 1 where the digital library with website based services will be located. This is evidenced by the ping command which generates request time out information. VLANs network in the STTA library have been able to provide support for plans to improve services to members and academicians in the form of a digital library.

This study aims at investigating the implementation process of electronic network systems in Japanese large firms, focusing on the innovativeness among industries to which firms belong. The electronic network systems such as Local Area Network (LAN) have spread rapidly during last several years. Accordingly, many firms in Japan have introduced them in their organizations. After the advent of the computer invention, computer and telecommunications technologies have merged into information technology, making a remarkable progress constantly for several decades. The electronic network systems are a kind of information technology, going back to 1950s when data communications systems were first developed. In the beginning were these systems managed by professional people. However, due to the rapid progress of the information technology, even untrained people who have no specific knowledge about IT or do not belong to the IT section have been able to use the electronic network systems in business organizations since the late 1980s. In addition, especially with the appearance of multimedia systems and the expansion of the usage of Internet, many organizations have begun introducing electronic network systems since 1990s. For this study, we sent questionnaires in 1996 to Japanese large firms in which they employed more than 1000 people. Based on the results and the interviews made in connection with this research work, we analyze first the state of the introduction of the electronic network systems, focusing on the innovativeness of firms. Next, we examine why the electronic network systems have come into wide use among Japanese large firms.

In the era of fifth generation communication system, multi-band patch antenna is the key element of this system. Most of the wireless communication devices work in the range of 1 to 6 GHz such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), Wi-Max, and wireless local area network. In this research work, a modified zig-zag-shaped multiband patch antenna with cross-cut set that covers 1 to 6 GHz range is designed. Proposed patch antenna shows five different bands at different resonant frequencies 1.4, 2.3, 2.5, 3.42, and 4.16 all in GHz. The proposed zig-zag-shaped patch antenna also calculates the radiation pattern and specific absorption rate (SAR).

The information and communication technology revolution is broadly recognised for its fundamental role in the effective operation of higher education institutions. There is a need to understand the way in which wireless local area networks at universities are viewed by registered users, the people that develop, implement and maintain these networks, and those planning on adopting these networks. The study’s objective is to unravel the usefulness of these networks in a higher education environment to promote effective learning engagements at campuses of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa. Universities provide Wi-Fi network initiatives on campuses to create an effective learning environment, and wireless local area network connections at universities mean that Wi-Fi-enabled devices can be leveraged for educational purposes. The provision of Wi-Fi-enabled computers, mobile devices and electronic gadgets has revolutionised the realm and methods of communication, which is channelled towards improving and enhancing internet coverage on campuses and at student residences. This study explores the effectiveness of Wi-Fi networks and hotspots on campuses and at student residences to improve students’ learning engagement. The study used mixed-research methods, including a document analysis to gather information from information and communication systems and a survey to gather responses from the respondents. The findings suggest that Wi-Fi availability at universities is perceived as useful and effective since students benefit from a range of improved learning experiences, easy access to educational content, enhanced performance, and quality and education delivery.

This report focusses on the planning and realization of an interdisciplinary local area network (LAN) for medical research at the University of Heidelberg. After a detailed requirements analysis, several networks were evaluated by means of a test installation, and a cost-performance analysis was carried out. At present, the LAN connects 45 (IBM-compatible) PCs, several heterogeneous mainframes (IBM, DEC and Siemens) and provides access to the public X.25 network and to wide-area networks for research (EARN, BITNET). The network supports application software that is frequently needed in medical research (word processing, statistics, graphics, literature databases and services, etc.). Compliance with existing “official” (e.g., IEEE 802.3) and “de facto” standards (e.g., PostScript) was considered to be extremely important for the selection of both hardware and software. Customized programs were developed to improve access control, user interface and on-line help. Wide acceptance of the LAN was achieved through extensive education and maintenance facilities, e.g., teaching courses, customized manuals and a hotline service. Since requirements of clinical routine differ substantially from medical research needs, two separate networks (with a gateway in between) are proposed as a solution to optimally satisfy the users’ demands.
