Across
- 1. Wireless network that requires no authentication.
- 3. A method that allows the frequency of the wireless network to be fine-tuned. Each channel is approximately 20 MHz wide.
- 5. Wireless communication technology that allows two devices to connect to each other over a short distance.
- 8. Combines multiple channels—or lanes—to increase the amount of traffic that a modem's highway can comfortably support.
- 10. A communication method that uses radio waves to transmit data from small circuit boards called RFID tags to special scanners.
- 11. Wireless authentication method that allows for automatic connection between a device and the wireless access point.
- 13. The wireless access point provides access to a wireless network.
- 14. An enhancement to MIMO that allows the antennae on the access point to divide streams between multiple devices.
- 16. A communication method that allows two-way communication between two devices within a few centimeters of each other.
- 17. Wireless authentication method that uses a passphrase to authenticate users.
- 18. A method that combines channels into one to increase bandwidth.
Down
- 2. Encryption protocol used on most wireless networks today. Versions 2 and 3 are the latest versions in use.
- 4. Authentication method that forces a user to agree to terms or pay a fee before accessing the wireless network.
- 6. An enhancement that allows multiple antennas to use the same radio frequency.
- 7. The expected number of times an event will occur in a given time frame.
- 9. Conceals the data's original meaning to prevent it from being known or used.
- 12. An Ethernet cable provides the connection between a device connected to the network port and the switch.
- 15. The interface between a computer's hardware and software.
