| "802.11" |
802.11 is a family of specifications for wireless local area networks (WLANs) developed by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). 802.11b and 802.11g – as well as 802.11n when using the 2.4 GHz band – divide the 2.4 GHz spectrum into 14 overlapping, staggered channels whose center frequencies are 5 megahertz (MHz) apart. The 802.11b, and 802.11g standards do specify the center frequency of the channel and a spectral mask width to a power level for that channel. The spectral mask for 802.11b requires that the signal be attenuated by at least 30 dB from its peak energy at ± 11 MHz from the center frequency. This means that an 802.11b/g product occupies five channels to an energy level of 30 dB down from the peak or center of the signal. [ Source - wikipedia ]  top |

| "802.11b" | 802.11b International standard for wireless networking that operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range (2.4 GHz to 2.4835 GHz) and provides a throughput of up to 11 Mbps. This is a very commonly used frequency. Microwave ovens, cordless phones, medical and scientific equipment, as well as Bluetooth & Wi-Fi devices, all work within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

"Bluetooth" |
 Sources: www.bluetooth.com | www.bluetooth.org Commemorates a Danish king of the 10th century who unified Denmark and Norway. Nowadays, Bluetooth unifies communication devices with computing devices wirelessly. Bluetooth is a computing and telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) can easily interconnect with each other and with home and business phones and computers using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users of cellular phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants such as the PalmPilot will be able to buy a three-in-one phone that can double as a portable phone at home or in the office, get quickly synchronized with information in a desktop or notebook computer, initiate the sending or receiving of a fax, initiate a print-out, and, in general, have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated. Bluetooth requires that a low-cost transceiver chip be included in each device. The tranceiver transmits and receives in a previously unused frequency band of 2.45 GHz (2450 MHz) that is available globally (with some variation of bandwidth in different countries). In addition to data, up to three voice channels are available. Each device has a unique 48-bit address from the IEEE 802 standard. Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint. The maximum range is 10 meters. Data can be exchanged at a rate of 1 megabit per second (up to 2 Mbps in the second generation of the technology). A frequency hop scheme allows devices to communicate even in areas with a great deal of electromagnetic interference. Built-in encryption and verification is provided. top |

| "HiperLAN" | HiperLAN is a set of wireless local area network (WLAN) communication standards primarily used in European countries. There are two specifications: HiperLAN/1 (20Mbps) and HiperLAN/2 (54Mbps). Both have been adopted by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Both operate in the 5-GHz range (5000MHz) of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum top |

Based on frequency hopping and using radio frequency waves for the transmission of voice and data, HomeRF has a range of up to 150 feet. top |

Wi-Fi Glossary [source:
link]802.11b Wireless Ethernet is the most popular wireless Internet access technology. Also known as Wi-Fi, this technology creates a Local Area Network (LAN) - just like the one at your place of work. Radio frequency (RF) connections between a base station and laptop computers fitted with add-on wireless cards replace the wires and cables of a conventional Local Area Network. Wireless Ethernet LANs deliver high-bandwidth access -- performance for various protocols varies from 2Mb per second to 11Mb per second. Wireless Ethernet LANs have a coverage area of between 200 to 600 feet per radio transceiver - perfect for airport lounges, hotels and public meeting places. top |
