Network Dictionary — Pain Relief Technology
October 28, 2008 by Greg Ferro · Leave a Comment
Pain Relief Technology — term used to describe certain products or technologies that are typically only understood, or perceived as useful, when you have a problem. When used, they ‘relieve the pain’.
For example, many people do not understand Web Acceleration or Application Acceleration until they have a bandwidth or performance problem. As part of searching for the solution they discover a whole marketplace of web acceleration and caching appliances that can solve their problems. Before this time, they have never really considered how the technology works or what it can do for them.
Many vendors of niche technologies will tell you that the best customers are those that are ‘having pain’ becuase they will take the time to understand the technology and or find the money to buy the equipment. Its a much easier sell when the customer has a problem and they need a solution.
Selling Pain Relief Technology on a proactive basis is much more complicated.

Network Dictionary — Signal Slope
In a digital circuits, the time taken for for the analog signal to switch digital state from a one to zero or the zero to one i.e. for the voltage to ramp from the “0” voltage to “1” voltage and vice versa.
For a engineers working at resellers, describes the communication with a customer where you are getting a purchasing commitment (zero to one) or the customer is losing confidence in you and looking elsewhere (one to zero). The steeper the slope, the faster the customer is coming to you or away from you.
Network Dictionary — Wi-Fi
wi-fi
1. Marketing abbreviation for ‘wireless fidelity’. Intended to convey a message of performance, quality and excellence by extrapolating concepts from “high fidelity”.
Of course, wi-fi is nothing of the sort. Using IEEE802.11b, there is not enough bandwidth to do much, and the radio spectrum is so hopelessly compromised and overloaded its surprising anything works.
Naturally, that never stopped us from finding ways to make it work just enough so that we make lots of money from selling it. Governments around the world can’t agree on a replacement spectrum, and the vendors can’t agree on new standards such as 802.11n so it’s going to be busted for years to come. BRILLIANT
