Identify the letter of the choice that best matches the phrase or definition.

Premises
Some hubs include these; that is, the hub receives data from many directions and then forwards it to one or more destinations.
Requires line-of-sight transmission; that is, the sending device and the receiving device must be in line with each other so that nothing obstructs the path of the light wave.
Kind of network that is sometimes called a file sharing network.
Allows participants to have the ability to open a separate window and type messages to one another.
Some industry experts predict that this will replace infrared technology.
A network standard that specifies how two devices use short-range radio waves to communicate at high speeds with each other.
Instead of these, some users access the Internet wirelessly through 3G networks.
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing files and computers, many routers are protected by these.
Can be negatively affected by the distance between two points, the type of transmission media, and the number of nodes through which data must travel.
A wireless transmission medium that distributes radio signals through the air over long distances.
A technology that uses radio signals to communicate with a tag placed in or attached to an object, an animal, or a person.
Works in conjunction with the TCP/IP network standard.
A dial-up modem usually is in this form, which is inserted in an expansion slot on a computer's motherboard.
A widely used application of this technology is to assist people with determining where they are located.
The core of this kind of cable consists of dozens or hundreds of thin strands of glass or plastic that use light to transmit signals.
The physical cable that connects the computers and other devices in a bus network.
Provides high speeds of transmission, with transfer rates of 1 Gbps (1 billion bits per second).
One advantage of this is that a mobile computer can be taken outside and then connect to the Internet through the home network as long as it is in the network's range.
The most common type of network card.
Type of lines that can be either analog or digital.
