WGU C724 EXAMS 601 FINAL PAPER 2026
TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
◉ Telecommunications Network. Answer: Enables the exchange of
information between end users across nodes and links.
◉ Star network. Answer: Router in middle of each computer
connected to the router/hub.
◉ ring network. Answer: each computer connected to the next
computer; cheaper to install; less effiecient.
◉ network host. Answer: node/computer connected with an IP
address
◉ Convergence. Answer: the ability for a telecommunication
network to carry voice, data, and video
◉ Sniffing. Answer: eavesdropping on network traffic in order to
acquire traffic data packets and decoding. The information gathered
can be used to hack into a network; the most common attack, as
signals travel through the air
,◉ Extranet. Answer: an intranet that can be partially accessed by
authorized outside users, enabling businesses to exchange
information over the Internet securely.
◉ ARPANET. Answer: an early packet switching network and the
first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both
technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet.
◉ Information Repository. Answer: Allows businesses to store
important information and documents that can be accessed
remotely by stakeholders; sometimes a fee for the service is charged.
◉ 1G Networks. Answer: The first cellular mobile networks; could
only transmit analog signals on radio frequency.
◉ 2G Networks. Answer: Has a 64 kbps speed
◉ 3G Networks. Answer: 384 kbps speed
◉ 4G Networks. Answer: Also called long-term evolution (LTE),
these networks offer speeds of 100,000 kpbs in the Ultra High
Frequency band; offers voice, data, and video.
, ◉ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). Answer: A wireless (tunneling)
encryption protocol that provides secure data transmission over an
insecure network.
◉ Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). Answer: Provides even stronger
security than the original.
◉ Radio Frequency Survey. Answer: Used to determine wireless
access point locations based upon signal strength.
◉ Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Answer: An automatic
electronic exchange of data and documents from one computer
system to another through a standardized messaging format that
does not require human intervention.
◉ Network Address Translation (NAT). Answer: Allows private users
to redefine network addresses to assign their own addresses.
◉ Spoofing. Answer: The creation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets
with a false source IP address, for the purpose of hiding the identity
of the sender or impersonating another computing system; elicits a
response from the network.
◉ Scalability. Answer: The ability to grow
