Here are a few questions that you can use to test whether you are ready for the examination:

  1. Can you explain the differences between Bluetooth and WiFi and suggest in what circumstances you would use each technology?
  2. Can you draw a diagram of the processes and technologies involved in voting via SMS while watching a TV show including the TV company sending back a thankyou message for which you are charged 25p?
  3. Can you identify which of these technologies transmit data and which only receive: RFID, GPS, mobile phones, WiFi, Bluetooth?
  4. Can you describe three different ways in which a mobile phone system could be designed to locate the position of a customer?
  5. Can you describe the components of a suitable handheld device that would make it possible to play realtime interactive multiplayer games?
  6. Can you describe the ways in which your case study proposal really takes advantage of mobility?
  7. Can you identify the technical and business partners you will need to implement your ideas?
  8. Can you describe how data will move around inside your system?
  9. Can you explain how your customer will pay for the service you are offering?
  10. Can you describe the steps you will have to take to implement your ideas?

Good luck with the examination!

Hi JB,

If the system we are proposing is one that is a system suitable for a business to make their processes more efficient, with regards to Question 9 above, how would we consider this?

The system I am designing is one as described and so will not necessarily have "customers" paying a fee for usage as such, but the organisation in question will pay for the system as a whole.
Hope this makes sense.

Also, will we have to provide details of costings of the system?

Regards,
RJ

What do you think?
