IEEE 802.11g

What is IEEE 802.11g?

802.11g is the third modulation standard for wireless LAN. It works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbit/s. Using the CSMA/CA transmission scheme, 31.4 Mbit/s is the maximum net throughput possible for packets of 1500 bytes in size and a 54 Mbit/s wireless rate (identical to 802.11a core, except for some additional legacy overhead for backward compatibility).

In practice, access points may not have an ideal implementation and may therefore not be able to achieve even 31.4 Mbit/s throughput with 1500 byte packets. 1500 bytes is the usual limit for packets on the Internet and therefore a relevant size to benchmark against. Therefore smaller packets give even lower theoretical throughput, down to 3 Mbit/s using 54 Mbit/s rate and 64 byte packets. Also, the available throughput is shared between all stations transmitting, including the AP. Both downstream and upstream traffic limited to shared total of 31.4 Mbit/s using 1500 byte packets and 54 Mbit/s rate.

IEEE 802.11g-2003 or 802.11g is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 specification that operates in the 2.4 GHz microwave band. Standard has extended throughput up to 54 Mbit/s using the same 20MHz bandwidth as 802.11b uses to achieve 11 Mbit/s. This specification under the marketing name of Wi-Fi has been implement all over the world. The 802.11g protocol is now Clause 19 of the published IEEE 802.11-2007 standard, and Clause 19 of the published IEEE 802.11-2012 standard.

802.11 is a set of IEEE standards that govern wireless networking transmission methods. They are commonly use today in their 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax versions to provide wireless connectivity in the home, office and some commercial establishments. Wi-Fi G is an unofficial retronym for 802.11g. 802.11g is fully backwards compatible with 802.11b.

Printer

What is Printer? Another widely used output device is a printer and it is a computer peripheral device. A printer produces a hard copy of a processed text or a result. A hard copy refers to a permanent human-readable text or graphics taken on physical print media such as paper or transparency. A printer will use toner to provide a quality print on paper, a toner is a replaceable material. Once the toner gets empty we can refill it and reuse it.  Most of the printers are used for commercial purposes such as private offices, industries, government offices, photo studios, etc,. Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...

Optical Disk Drives

What is Optical Drives? Optical Drives is a hardware device which used for reading and writing  a data in CD and DVD Disc. It uses electromagnetic waves to produce visible light spectrum which provide a read/write data process in optical disc. The CD was develop by Sony and Denon which is introduce in 1984 and the storage capacity is 650 MB. The DVD is develop by Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba which is introduce in 1995 and the storage capacity is 4.7 GB. Types of Optical Disk Drives Some of the commonly used optical storage devices compact disks are Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) Compact Disk Recordable (CD-R) Compact Disk Rewritable (CD-RW) Compact Disk Digital Video Disc (DVD) Types of Optical Disk Drives Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) The Compact Disk Read Only Memory it contains data were computers can read but not write or erase in CD-ROM it is a type of read-only memory. In the 1990s CD-ROM was use for software and data distribution for the computer. Some ...

Cloud Computing

What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves storing data, accessing data and programs over the internet instead of your computer’s hard drive. It is usually classified on the basis of location or on the service that the cloud is offering. The name “cloud computing” that often used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. Cloud Computing Based on Service The four categories of cloud computing based on service are such as Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Platform as a service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), and Function as a service (FaaS). These are also called the cloud computing stack because they on top of one another. Cloud Computing Based on Location The four types of cloud computing based on location are such as public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and community cloud. They are compare to provide different levels of security and management requirements, it will depend on which type of data you are working with.
