Jonathan Gribben | Multimedia Designer
Writer
From simple blogging to full research papers, I enjoy writing at any level. Over the years my writing skills have improved dramatically and I now feel confident and able to undertake any writing project. Currently my topic of choice is technology and specifically web technology; but with enough interest I can write on anything from tourism in north coast of Ireland to the cultural developments in South East Asia.
Recent Projects
My most recent writing project was a research paper for a final year module, Future and Emerging Technologies for Multimedia, for my degree. My chosen research field was the wireless networking standard WiMAX. An abstract from this project can be seen below:
"Since the emergence of the internet in the early 1990s, ways to connect have greatly varied. Within recent years wired connections are becoming obsolete and the demand for alternative "last mile" technologies is getting higher and higher.
The newest generation of internet connectivity is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, or more commonly know as "WiMAX," now in a pre-launch and marketing stage. WiMAX is a certification mark for products that conform to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard."
WiMAX is similar to WiFi but it operates at greater speeds, over a greater distance and for a greater number of users. WiMAX has the potential to bring internet connectivity to rural areas that as of yet do not have internet connectivity.
