You are working as a senior technician at Domain.com. A trainee asks which of the following IEEE definitions that could be used to provide a wireless solution for networking printers and other devices. What will you answer him?

A.
IEEE 1284

B.
IEEE 802.11b

C.
IEEE 1394

D.
IEEE 802.3

Explanation:
IEEE 1284is a standard that defines bi-directional parallel communications between computers and other devices. IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) computer communication. FireWire is Apple Inc.’s brand name for the IEEE 1394 interface (although the 1394 standard also defines a backplane interface). It is also known as i.Link (Sony’s name). It is a personal computer (and digital audio/digital video) serial bus interface standard, offering high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data services. IEEE 802.3 is a collection of IEEE standards defining the physical layer and the media access control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer of wired Ethernet. This is generally a LAN technology with some WAN applications.
