unidirectional antena

A type of antenna that issues wireless signals along a single direction, or path. Also called a directional antenna.​

data frame

​SSID

​The ____ is a unique character string used to identify an access point.

layer 3

​What is the lowest layer of the OSI model at which wired and wireless transmissions share the same protocols?

802.11n

​Which 802.11 standard can be used in both the 2.4-GHz and the 5-GHz bands?

CSMA/CA

​Which Carrier Sense technology is used on wireless networks to reduce collisions?

Wi-Fi

​Which one of the following wireless transmission types does NOT require a clear LOS to function?

​Interference

​____ is a most significant problem for wireless communications because the atmosphere is saturated with electromagnetic waves.
