Q

ANT+

A

A 2.4 GHz radio protocol that operates at low speeds over distances up to 30 meters, and is used primarily to manage sensors such as fitness trackers, medical devices, and watches

20
Q

Bluetooth

A

A standard designed for wireless PAN applications that operates in the same 2.4 GHz RF band used by Wi-Fi, and is commonly used to connect peripherals to computers and mobile devices

21
Q

MIMO

A

Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output

22
Q

Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output

A

A wireless technologu that uses multiple antennas to simultaneously transmit and receive separate data streams on the same channel

23
Q

NFC

A

Near Feild Communication

24
Q

Near Field Communication (NFC)

A

A set of standards used either for small amounts of data or else for configuration data that can bootstrap a faster bluetooth or WiFi Connection

25
RFID
Radio Frequency Identification
26
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
A technology that allows identification and communication between nodes using electromagnetic fields
27
Spread Spectrum
A wireless technology that breaks the transmission into a large number of subchannels on nearby frequencies
28
SSID
Service Set Identifier
29
Service Set Identifier (SSID)
A string of up to 32 octets that can be used to uniquely identify it to clients
30
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
31
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
A network security standard that allows non-technical users of home networks to easily control network access
32
33
MUMIMO
Multiple User MIMO Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output
34
WLC
Wireless Lan Controller
35
Wireless Lan Controller (WLC)
a device that allows thin APs to be centrally managed , to share configuration data and function as a single layer network
36
WMN
wireless mesh network
37
wireless mesh network
* allows nodes to communicate and relay communications as peers rather than dividually connecting to a WAP as clients * can also be used to join multiple compatible WAPs in a WiFi nework, giving the benefit of centrally managed APs, but with the extra benefit that not all APs need to have a connection to a wired internet
38
Z-Wave
* proprietary wireless standard maintained by Silicon Labs * uses 800-900MHz ISM band * 40knps over distances of 10-100m * allows nodes to form a mesh network such that even if two nodes can't directly communicate, they can relay data through intermediate nodes * longer range than bluetooth with less power that WiFi. * Commonly used for interoperable monitoring and remote control of home automation and lighting
39
ZigBee
* open standard based on IEE 802.15.4 PAN standards maintained by ZigBee Alliance * uses a varierty of ISM bands, with 2.5Ghz and 915Mhz being the most common * similar features and applications to Z-Wave * Zigbee devices are available from more manufactures, but are also prone to compatibility issues * allows nodes to form a mesh network such that even if two nodes can't directly communicate, they can relay data through intermediate nodes * longer range than bluetooth with less power that WiFi. * Commonly used for interoperable monitoring and remote control of home automation and lighting
40
ISM band
Industrial, scientific and Medical Band
41
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy
42
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
* part of the original Wi-Fi standard * Used RC4 encryption cipher * Used 40bit key (WEP 128 used an effective 104 bit key) * Flaws made it easy to compromise (in seconds) * Removed from WiFi standard in 2004
43
WPA
* Wi-Fi Protected Access * was in draft 802.11i standard, but rushed forward due to issues with WEP * encrypts using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol * 128bit * each data packet sent using its own key
44
WPA2
* final version of WPA * based on final 802.11i standard * mandatory support for 128bit encryption * uses Advance Encryption Standard (AES) cipher
45
Wi-Fi strongest security(high to low)
1. WPA2 with AES 2. WPA with AES 3. WPA2 TKIP 4. WPA TKIP 5. WEP 6. Nothing
