IEEE 802.11b

A LAN protocol that supports data transfer rates of 10 Mbps. It is a widely implemented LAN standard that operates over the twisted pair or coaxial cable. A version of Ethernet, called 100 Base-T (or FastEthernet), supports data transfer rates of 100 Mbps.

An Ethernet specification with a speed of 100 Mbps (10 times faster than 10BaseT).

The size at which the transmitted data packets are fragmented. The range extends from 256 to 2346 bytes.

Simultaneous and independent data transmission, between two communicating computers, in both directions.

A data transmission system where two computers can send and receive data but in which data transmission can occur in only one direction at a time.

A number system with a base of 16. The 16 digits in the hexadecimal system are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f.

A device used for connecting nodes in a star topology, that is, all the nodes are connected to a central hub. A passive hub simply organizes the wiring, while an active hub, besides organizing the wiring, regenerates and retransmits the signals.

A family of wireless network standards, which includes 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11e, and 802.11g (draft). The original 802.11 standard was first approved in 1997 but was not very successful because it was relatively slow at 2 Mbps.

A high-bit wireless network standard that works on the 2.4 GHz band and utilizes DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) technology. It offers data bit rates of up to 11 Mbps and the range is from 200 to 300 feet for maximum speed.
