Q

RFID tags work using ___ technology. This RF energy is sent out, captured by the tag, and is used to power the RFID tag. The tag then sends out an ID signal which then can be captured.

A

radar

17
Q

You might also find RFID tags that are already powered. Those are ___ RFID tags.

A

active

18
Q

An advanced form of RFID is one that we put into many of our mobile phones. This is ___.

A

Near Field Communication or NFC

19
Q

We can use ___ to help with the pairing process with Bluetooth, or it can act as an identity card to prove that you are who you say you are or give you access to a locked room.

A

NFC

20
Q

Zigbee is a 802.15.4 PAN that is worth considering over Bluetooth and wifi because?

A

It uses less power than Wi-Fi and can go longer distances than a Bluetooth connection.

21
Q

Unlike 802.11, which has a central access point, and all devices have to be able to communicate to that access point, Zigbee is a ___.

A

meshed network

22
Q

Meshed networks have what feature?

A

Each node in the network can route data allowing it to expand rapidly.

23
Q

Zigbee communicates over the ___.

A

ISM ban (Industrial, Scientific and Medical band),

24
Q

Zigbee uses what frequency?

A

2.4Ghz

25
Q

What two wireless network communications are used for meshed topologies often seen in IoT devices?

A

Zigbee, and Z-Wave; both use 900 megahertz and 2.4 gigahertz frequencies

26
Q

___ cell networks were built with voice communication in mind. They were built so that you could make phone calls. And the idea of sending data over this network was not part of the original engineering.

A

2G

27
Q

___ cell networks really changed how we started to use our mobile devices, because this increased bandwidth meant that we could have different types of applications; GPS technologies and have video on demand and use much more data.

A

3G

28
Q

With 4G technology, we began to consolidate the type of wireless networking that we were doing over mobile networks. Most of this consolidation consisted of ___ networking.

A

LTE, or Long Term Evolution,

29
Q

LTE stands for what? Means what?

A

Long Term Evolution.

30
Q

The LTE standard supported download rates of ___ megabits. And an improvement to LTE called LTE Advance doubled that to ___ megabits per second.

A

150

300

31
Q

5G technologies will be able to use much higher ___. And if you’re using those ___, you could see some significant performance improvements.

A

frequencies

32
Q

___ not only increase the number of frequencies available but has some significant improvement in the data throughput as well.

A

5G
