Term

Definition

 

battery-powered. Although mobile and portable systems can be used in

 

fixed locations, efficiency and bandwidth are compromised compared with

 

fixed systems.

 

 

frequency allocation

Use of radio frequency spectrum regulated by governments.

 

 

frequency spectrum

Part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

 

 

hotspot

A WLAN node that provides internet connection from a given location. A

 

business traveler, for example, with a laptop equipped for Wi-Fi can look

 

up a local hot spot, contact it, and get connected through its network to

 

reach the internet and their own company remotely with a secure

 

connection. Increasingly, public places, such as airports, hotels, and

 

coffee shops are providing free wireless access for customers.

 

 

IEEE 802.11 standards

The IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards that are categorized based on the

 

radio wave frequency and the data transfer rate.

 

 

POE

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a method of delivering power on the same

 

physical Ethernet wire used for data communication. Power for devices is

 

provided in one of the following two ways:

 

• Endspan— The switch that an AP is connected for power supply.

 

• Midspan— A device can sit between the switch and APs

 

The choice of endspan or midspan depends on the capabilities of the

 

switch to which the AP is connected. Typically if a switch is in place and

 

does not support PoE, midspan power injectors are used.

 

 

PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a method of connecting

 

to the internet typically used with DSL services where the client connects

 

to the DSL modem.

 

 

QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide

 

better service to a specific network traffic over various technologies.

 

 

RF

Radio Frequency (RF) refers to the portion of electromagnetic spectrum in

 

which electromagnetic waves are generated by feeding alternating current

 

to an antenna.

 

 

Wi-Fi

A term for certain types of WLANs. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use

 

any 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi has gained acceptance in many businesses,

 

agencies, schools, and homes as an alternative to a wired LAN. Many

 

airports, hotels, and fast-food facilities offer public access to Wi-Fi

 

networks.

 

 

wired equivalent privacy (WEP)

Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in 802.11b,

 

designed to provide a WLAN with a level of security and privacy

 

comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN. Data encryption

 

protects the vulnerable wireless link between clients and APs; once this

 

measure has been taken, other typical LAN security mechanisms such as

 

password protection, end-to-end encryption, and authentication can be

 

put in place to ensure privacy.

 

 

wireless

Describes telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (rather

 

than some form of wire) carry the signal over part or all of the

 

communication path.
