  • Q1
    Which statement about the 802.11a standard is true?
    The 802.11a standard uses the 2.4GHz spectrum.
    The 802.11a standard can use both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum.
    The 802.11a standard uses the 5GHz spectrum.
    The 802.11a standard uses the 400MHz spectrum.

  • Q4
    Which describes the spectrum in 802.11ac?
    The 802.11ac standard utilizes the 2.4GHz spectrum, as it is more resilient and capable of longer distances.
    The 802.11ac standard utilizes both the 2.4Ghz spectrum and 5GHz spectrum actively.
    The 802.11ac standard utilizes the 5GHz spectrum. It is also capable of utilizing the 2.4GHz spectrum, but then it is no longer the 802.11ac standard.
    The 802.11ac standard utilizes the 7GHz spectrum, since 2.4GHz and 5GHz were becoming too congested.

  • Q5
    Which statement describes TDMA?
    TDMA uses code multiplexing techniques to separate the utilization of throughput given to separate subscribers.
    TDMA utilizes throughput on a single frequency and separates it into time slots to allocate throughput for subscribers. Each subscriber is given a separate time slot to send and receive data.
    TDMA uses time slots to allocate throughput for subscribers, putting each time slot on a different frequency to ensure they are secure.
    TDMA utilizes separate frequencies for each subscriber so that each subscriber has a dedicated frequency and throughput.
