1.10 Bluetooth, GPS, and Mobile Device Management Overview Flashcards
What is Bluetooth pairing?
Bluetooth pairing establishes a secure connection between two devices, requiring both to be in discoverable mode.
What is discoverable mode?
Before two devices can connect, both must be set to ‘discoverable’ mode, allowing them to detect each other.
What role does a PIN play in Bluetooth pairing?
During pairing, devices exchange information and establish a secure link, typically verified by a PIN or passphrase to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting.
What happens after devices are paired via Bluetooth?
Once paired, devices are stored in each other’s trusted devices list and automatically reconnect when Bluetooth is enabled and in range.
What are Bluetooth profiles?
Different devices may use Bluetooth for specific functions like audio (A2DP), file transfer (FTP), or keyboard/mouse input (HID).
What is the typical range of Bluetooth?
Bluetooth typically works within a range of 10 meters (33 feet), though Bluetooth 5.0 supports longer distances.
How does GPS work?
GPS works by connecting mobile devices to satellites that help calculate the device’s location using latitude, longitude, and altitude.
How many satellites are required for precise GPS navigation?
GPS requires signals from at least four satellites for precise navigation.
What is triangulation in GPS?
By calculating the time delay between the device and each satellite signal, the GPS system uses triangulation to determine your position.
What are navigation uses of GPS?
GPS is used for maps, turn-by-turn directions, and location-based services.
What is AGPS?
To improve location accuracy, mobile devices also rely on AGPS, which uses Wi-Fi signals, cellular tower data, and Bluetooth beacons in addition to satellite signals.
What is GLONASS?
In addition to the US-based GPS system, there are alternative satellite navigation systems like GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European Union), and BeiDou (China).
What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
MDM refers to software solutions that allow organizations to securely manage and control mobile devices used by employees.
What does BYOD stand for?
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies allow employees to use personal devices for both work and personal activities.
What are push settings in MDM?
Administrators can remotely push settings to devices, including Wi-Fi configurations, VPN setups, and email account credentials.
What is app management in MDM?
MDM allows the installation of approved apps or restricts access to unapproved ones.
How does MDM enforce security?
Critical security policies, such as screen lock requirements, password complexity, and encryption, can be enforced across all managed devices.
What is remote wipe in MDM?
MDM supports remote wipe or lock features, allowing the IT department to remotely erase corporate data from a lost or stolen device.
How does MDM separate data?
MDM solutions can create separate workspaces or containers for business apps, preventing corporate data from being copied or shared outside of authorized applications.
What is Microsoft Intune?
Integrates with Office 365 and Azure AD to manage Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS devices.
What is VMware Workspace ONE?
Offers a unified endpoint management platform for mobile, desktop, and IoT devices.
What is MobileIron?
Specializes in secure access to corporate resources from mobile devices.
What is Jamf?
Focuses on managing and securing Apple devices in enterprise environments.
