CD-ROM

A CD-ROM (compact disc read-only memory) is a type of read-only memory consisting of a pre-pressed optical compact disc that contains data computers can read—but not write or erase—CD-ROMs.

See MeshBox and CD-ROM

CompactFlash

CompactFlash (CF) is a flash memory mass storage device used mainly in portable electronic devices.

See MeshBox and CompactFlash

Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case.

See MeshBox and Computer hardware

File eXchange Protocol

File eXchange Protocol (FXP or FXSP) is a method of data transfer which uses FTP to transfer data from one remote server to another (inter-server) without routing this data through the client's connection.

See MeshBox and File eXchange Protocol

IEEE 802.11

IEEE 802.11 is part of the IEEE 802 set of local area network (LAN) technical standards, and specifies the set of medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) protocols for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication.

See MeshBox and IEEE 802.11

Instant messaging

Instant messaging (IM) technology is a type of online chat allowing immediate transmission of messages over the Internet or another computer network.

See MeshBox and Instant messaging

Internet

The Internet (or internet) is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices.

See MeshBox and Internet

Megabyte

The megabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information.

See MeshBox and Megabyte

MP3

MP3 (formally MPEG-1 Audio Layer III or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III) is a coding format for digital audio developed largely by the Fraunhofer Society in Germany under the lead of Karlheinz Brandenburg, with support from other digital scientists in other countries.

See MeshBox and MP3

Open-source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose.

See MeshBox and Open-source software

OpenAP

OpenAP holds a significant place in the history of open-source Linux distributions for wireless access points.

See MeshBox and OpenAP

Peer-to-peer

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers.

See MeshBox and Peer-to-peer

Personal computer

A personal computer, often referred to as a PC, is a computer designed for individual use.

See MeshBox and Personal computer

Set-top box

A set-top box (STB), also known as a cable box, receiver, or simply box, and historically television decoder or a converter, is an information appliance device that generally contains a TV tuner input and displays output to a television set, turning the source signal into content in a form that can then be displayed on the television screen or other display device.

See MeshBox and Set-top box

Streaming media refers to multimedia for playback using an offline or online media player that is delivered through a network.

See MeshBox and Streaming media

Terminal server

A terminal server connects devices with a serial port to a local area network (LAN).

See MeshBox and Terminal server

Web navigation

Web navigation refers to the process of navigating a network of information resources in the World Wide Web, which is organized as hypertext or hypermedia.

See MeshBox and Web navigation

Wireless access point

In computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point (AP), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. MeshBox and wireless access point are IEEE 802.11.

See MeshBox and Wireless access point

Wireless broadband

Wireless broadband is a telecommunications technology that provides high-speed wireless Internet access or computer networking access over a wide area.

See MeshBox and Wireless broadband

Wireless community networks or wireless community projects or simply community networks, are non-centralized, self-managed and collaborative networks organized in a grassroots fashion by communities, non-governmental organizations and cooperatives in order to provide a viable alternative to municipal wireless networks for consumers.

See MeshBox and Wireless community network

Wireless LAN

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.

See MeshBox and Wireless LAN

Wireless mesh network

A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. MeshBox and wireless mesh network are mesh networking.
