Why is the number 802 outside the scope of IEEE 802?

Why is the number 802 outside the scope of IEEE 802?

Isochronous signal networks, in which data is transmitted as a steady stream of octets, or groups of octets, at regular time intervals, are also outside the scope of the IEEE 802 standards. The number 802 has no significance: it was simply the next number in the sequence that the IEEE used for standards projects.

When did 802.11 A and B come out?

Wi-Fi 1/2/802.11/a/b. This was the original standard created in 1997. It only provided data throughput of 2 Mbps in the 2.4 Ghz frequency, which was too slow for most applications. The A version (5 Ghz) boosted data rates to 54 Mbps. The B version (1999) went back to the 2.4 Ghz frequency and boosted data rates to 11 Mbps.

Which is the dual band AP for 802.11n?

Dual-band APs like the MR34 will seamlessly serve 802.11ac and 802.11a/n clients in the 5 GHz band, and 802.11b/g/n in the 2.4 GHz band. Backwards compatibility is a key point since nearly all deployments will be dual-band and therefore will need to support 802.11n for years to come.

What kind of band does 802.11ac work on?

802.11ac only works on 5 GHz. Yes, 802.11ac will only work on the 5 GHz band. Nearly every wireless client supports the 2.4 GHz band, but unfortunately the band suffers from high interference levels and is quite crowded.

How is the Bowers and Wilkins 802 D3 Diamond loudspeaker repaired?

Of course, it’s also less likely to be damaged in the first place: the 802 D3’s protective tweeter cover is now fixed, to prevent any untoward contact with the dome. Also reengineered are the metal frames of the midrange and bass drivers, to increase stiffness and reduce resonances.

What’s the difference between the 802 Diamond and 802 D3?

Indeed, the 802 D3 weighs only 17 lbs less than its older and broader brother. Another striking change in appearance is the 802 D3’s silvery Continuum midrange cone, which replaces the iconic yellow Kevlar of the 800 Diamond’s cone.

How tall is the Bowers and Wilkins 802 D3?

A concomitant consequence of the new shape is that the rear of the 802 D3 is a single, massive aluminum heatsink that runs, like a keel, the cabinet’s entire height.

Which is louder 802 diamond or 800 Diamond?

When I set-up the 802 D3s, the first thing that struck me was that they were taller than the 800 Diamonds. That, coupled with the change from a boxy support plinth (which also housed the crossover) to a flat, 1″-thick aluminum plinth, suggests that the bass enclosure is of significantly greater volume.
