An oceanographic research vessel is being retrofitted with an internal computer network to connect high-precision deep-sea sonar systems, stationary control-room terminals, and rugged handheld telemetry tablets used by scientists working on the open deck. The ship's operators are deciding between installing a fully wired marine-grade Ethernet network or a wireless Wi-Fi network.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both wired and wireless networks for the research vessel.

In your response, you should:

• Compare the transmission reliability, physical installation challenges, and mobility of each network type within this marine environment.
• Discuss and compare the security risks and defensive measures associated with both wired and wireless networks, particularly when the vessel is docked or operating in international waters.
