Numeric

802.11b

IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)

technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz.

802.11g

An IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS)

technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. 802.11g is backwards compatible

with 802.11b.

10BASE-T

The IEEE specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair cable.

100BASE-TX

The IEEE specification for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet over Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

ADSL

Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that allows data to be sent over existing copper

telephone lines at data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and

from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate).

ADSL requires a special ADSL modem. ADSL is growing in popularity as more areas around the world

gain access.
