Program Plan Intro

Introduction:

Speedy package is a package delivery service company. A shipping label is attached in each package which is electronically scanned and entered into the network. Using a mobile network, the electronic labels are transmitted through a device.

2.

Explanation of Solution

Determining the transmitting time of a label to the network:

Given,

$\begin{array}{c}Cellphonenetworkspeed=200kbps\\ =200,000bitsper\sec ond\end{array}$

$Sizeofalabel=1,000bytes$

Given,

$8bits=1byte$

$\begin{array}{c}Cellphonenetworkspeed=\frac{200,000}{\mathrm{8<}}\end{array}$
