The IEEE standard that describes a mechanism for Power over Ethernet (PoE). The
802.3af/at
standard provides the capability to deliver both power and data over standard
Ethernet cabling.
The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical
802.11
layer specifications for 1- and 2-megabit-per-second (Mb/s) wireless LANs
operating in the 2.4-GHz band.
The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical
802.11a
layer specifications for wireless LANs operating in the 5-GHz frequency band.
The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical
802.11b
layer specifications for 5.5- and 11-Mb/s wireless LANs operating in the
2.4-GHz frequency band.
The IEEE standard that specifies carrier sense media access control and physical
802.11g
layer specifications for 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, and 54 Mb/s wireless LANs
operating in the 2.4-GHz frequency band.
802.11n is a specification for wireless LAN (WLAN) communications. An
802.11n
addition to the 802.11 family of standards, 802.11n increases network speed and
reliability and extends the operating distance of wireless networks. Raw data
throughput is expected to reach as much as 600 Mb/s, or more than 10 times the
throughput of 802.11g
A
A wireless LAN data transceiver that uses radio waves to connect a wired
access point
network with wireless stations.
A wireless network composed of stations without access points.
ad hoc network
The gain of an antenna is a measure of the antenna ability to direct or focus radio
antenna gain
energy over a region of space. High gain antennas have a more focused radiation
pattern in a specific direction.
A station is configured properly to allow it to wirelessly communicate with an
associated
access point.
