Question 1 Report
The diagram shows a school drone club's network arrangement. A control laptop sends flight plans to a local computer. The computer stores video data and is connected to a router. During outdoor sessions, the router reaches the internet through a portable 5G gateway. Students use tablets to view the video stream over wireless. The teacher wants to prevent students from accidentally using all of the mobile data allowance.
(a) Which device provides mobile internet connectivity in Fig. 1? [1]
(b) State the connection type used by the tablets. [1]
(c) Give two requirements for the 5G gateway to provide internet access. [2]
(d) Describe one difference between sending a flight plan on the local network and uploading video to an online platform. [2]
(e) Explain two ways the teacher could reduce unnecessary use of mobile data. [4]
(f) Give one reason to test the wireless network before flying the drone. [1]
Answer Details
(a) The 5G gateway provides mobile internet connectivity. [1]
(b) The tablets use a wireless, or Wi-Fi, connection. [1]
(c) The gateway needs, for example, an active SIM card and mobile network signal or coverage. A data allowance or contract and a charged battery or power supply are also acceptable. [2]
(d) A flight plan can be sent inside the LAN without internet access. Uploading video to an online platform must travel through the 5G gateway to the internet. [2]
(e) Block video streaming or automatic software updates so devices cannot download large files. Set a data cap or usage alert so use is limited or staff are warned. Download resources before the session, and disable guest access so extra devices cannot consume data. [4]
(f) Test wireless before flight to check commands and video data can be sent reliably. [1]
