IEEE 802.16 Also known as WIMAX. A group of broadband wireless communications
standards for metropolitan area networks (MANs) developed by a working
group of the IEEE.
IEEE 802.16a An extension of IEEE 802.16. 802.16a operates in the 2-11GHz frequency
band over a theoretical maximum range of 31 miles with a theoretical
maximum data transfer rate of 70Mbps.
IEEE 802.1Q The IEEE 802.1Q standard defines the operation of VLAN Bridges that
permit the definition, operation and administration of Virtual LAN
topologies within a Bridged LAN infrastructure. The 802.1Q specification
establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership information
into Ethernet frames. A tag field containing VLAN (and/or 802.1p priority)
information can be inserted into an Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN
membership information.
IEEE 802.3 A Local Area Network protocol suite commonly known as Ethernet. Ethernet
uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access bus with Collision Detection CSMA/CD.
This method allows users to share the network cable. However, only one
station can use the cable at a time. A variety of physical medium dependent
protocols are supported.
IEEE 802.11b The IEEE 802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi). An
extension to 802.11 standard for wireless Ethernet networks, that applies to
wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2
and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band.
IEEE 802.11g An extension to 802.11 standard for wireless Ethernet networks, that
applies to wireless LANs and provides 20+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force. One of the task forces of the IAB (Internet
Architecture Board), formally called the Internet Activities Board, which is
the technical body that oversees the development of the Internet suite of
protocols (commonly referred to as "TCP/IP").The IETF is responsible for
solving short-term engineering needs of the Internet.
IF Intermediate Frequency. Radio communications systems modulate a carrier
frequency with a baseband signal in order to achieve radio transmission. In
many cases, the carrier is not modulated directly. Instead, a lower IF signal
is modulated and processed. At a later circuit stage, the IF signal is
converted up to the transmission frequency band.
Internet Protocol. The standard that defines how data is transmitted over
IP
the Internet. IP bundles data, including e-mail, faxes, voice calls and
messages, and other types, into "packets", in order to transmit it over public
and private networks.
