Wireless Networking Standard

Wireless networks using radio frequency, wireless network in the United States is governed by the same type of law to use to deal with radio AM / FM. The federal communications commission (FCC) regulates the use of the wireless network. In the wireless network market today there are several operational standards are accepted and maintained by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

This standard was created by a group of people representing many different organizations, including academic, military, business and government. Because the standards set forth by the IEEE can impact on the development of these technologies, standards can take many a year to be created and approved. Immediately, we get into the discussion continued :

• IEEE 802.11 : Wireless networking standard that defines native data transfer rate of the slowest on the RF transmission technology and light-based. This standard is ratified by the IEEE in 1997.

• IEEE 802.11b : Elaborate data transfer speeds are a little faster and a more limited scope of transmission technology. This standard is also widely promoted under the name Wi-Fi by the Wi-Fi Alliance. This standard has been ratified by the IEEE in 1999 as an expansion of the original IEEE 802.11 standard.

• IEEE 802.11a : Data transfer speed faster than IEEE 802.11b, using the 5 GHz UNII frequency. This standard has been ratified by the IEEE in 1999 as a development of the original 802.11 standard. The latest IEEE 802.11g draft standard is based on outlining the list of 802 shipping goods transfer data as fast as the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b necessary to increase cheaper.
