1.10 Bluetooth, GPS, and Mobile Device Management Overview

Question 1

What is Bluetooth pairing?

Answer 1

Bluetooth pairing establishes a secure connection between two devices, requiring both to be in discoverable mode.

Question 2

What is discoverable mode?

Answer 2

Before two devices can connect, both must be set to ‘discoverable’ mode, allowing them to detect each other.

Question 3

What role does a PIN play in Bluetooth pairing?

Answer 3

During pairing, devices exchange information and establish a secure link, typically verified by a PIN or passphrase to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting.

Question 4

What happens after devices are paired via Bluetooth?

Answer 4

Once paired, devices are stored in each other’s trusted devices list and automatically reconnect when Bluetooth is enabled and in range.

Question 5

What are Bluetooth profiles?

Answer 5

Different devices may use Bluetooth for specific functions like audio (A2DP), file transfer (FTP), or keyboard/mouse input (HID).

Question 6

What is the typical range of Bluetooth?

Answer 6

Bluetooth typically works within a range of 10 meters (33 feet), though Bluetooth 5.0 supports longer distances.

Question 7

How does GPS work?

Answer 7

GPS works by connecting mobile devices to satellites that help calculate the device’s location using latitude, longitude, and altitude.

Question 8

How many satellites are required for precise GPS navigation?

Answer 8

GPS requires signals from at least four satellites for precise navigation.

Question 9

What is triangulation in GPS?

Answer 9

By calculating the time delay between the device and each satellite signal, the GPS system uses triangulation to determine your position.

Question 10

What are navigation uses of GPS?

Answer 10

GPS is used for maps, turn-by-turn directions, and location-based services.

Question 11

What is AGPS?

Answer 11

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.

Question 12

What is GLONASS?

Answer 12

In addition to the US-based GPS system, there are alternative satellite navigation systems like GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (European Union), and BeiDou (China).

Question 13

What is Mobile Device Management (MDM)?

Answer 13

MDM refers to software solutions that allow organizations to securely manage and control mobile devices used by employees.

Question 14

What does BYOD stand for?

Answer 14

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies allow employees to use personal devices for both work and personal activities.

Question 15

What are push settings in MDM?

Answer 15

Administrators can remotely push settings to devices, including Wi-Fi configurations, VPN setups, and email account credentials.

Question 16

What is app management in MDM?

Answer 16

MDM allows the installation of approved apps or restricts access to unapproved ones.

Question 17

How does MDM enforce security?

Answer 17

Critical security policies, such as screen lock requirements, password complexity, and encryption, can be enforced across all managed devices.

Question 18

What is remote wipe in MDM?

Answer 18

MDM supports remote wipe or lock features, allowing the IT department to remotely erase corporate data from a lost or stolen device.

Question 19

How does MDM separate data?

Answer 19

MDM solutions can create separate workspaces or containers for business apps, preventing corporate data from being copied or shared outside of authorized applications.

Question 20

What is Microsoft Intune?

Answer 20

Integrates with Office 365 and Azure AD to manage Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS devices.

Question 21

What is VMware Workspace ONE?

Answer 21

Offers a unified endpoint management platform for mobile, desktop, and IoT devices.

Question 22

What is MobileIron?

Answer 22

Specializes in secure access to corporate resources from mobile devices.

Question 23

What is Jamf?

Answer 23

Focuses on managing and securing Apple devices in enterprise environments.
