Wireless Protocols Flashcards
Has bandwidth of 54 Mbps
Regulated Radio frequency 5.725 - 5.850
802.11a
Which was used more in businesses than homes because of faster speeds, but higher frequencies causing the signal to be blocked.
802.11a
Has bandwidth of 11 Mbps
Radio frequency 2.5GHz
802.11b
Microwaves, cordless phones and other appliances could interfere with non-regulated frequency
Radio frequency 2.5Ghz
Was used more in homes because signal could penetrate walls and had good range
802.11b
Bandwidth of 54 Mbps
Unregulated frequency of 2.5GHz
Backwards compatible with 802.11b
802.11g
Bandwidth up to 300 Mbps
802.11n
Uses multiple wireless signals and antennas giving a better range, but may interfere with other instances because of this.
802.11n
uses dual band wireless technology and supports simultaneous connections (both 2.4 and 5 GHz) and is backwards compatible with all previous versions.
802.11ac
