WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES1Evaluation of the WLAN technologyWireless LAN (WLAN) channels are the new mode for data communication and thereare multiple options available for the same. In this section, four of such technology areassessed to identify the system that will be the leader in the deemed field. The consideredtechnologies have been discussed as follows:802.11b: The deemed technology uses radio signal frequency at 2.4 GHz for thecommunication purpose (Desai & Ibrahim, 2015). It offers larger signal range and is alsoalmost obstruct proof at a lower price. However, it suffers interference from appliances thatuses electromagnetic waves and offers low data communication speed.802.11g: The considered technology also equips radio signal at 2.4 GHz however itoffers more bandwidth than 802.11b (Desai & Ibrahim, 2015). Extended bandwidth offershigh speed than the its predecessors with good range along with compatibility to itspredecessor’s hardware. It is not cost efficient and also suffers from interference. 802.11n: The talked about technology uses multiple antennas and signals (MIMO) forthe communication. The speed of up to 300 Mbps is one of the most significant advantage ofthe same along with a strong signal range and resistance to external interferences (Bejarano,Knightly & Park, 2013). However, equipping multiple signal increases the probability ofinterference with the signals from different WLAN technologies.802.11ac: This model uses dual band model for supporting dual bandwidth (2.4 & 5GHz). It offers enormously high speed of upto 1300 Mbps for 2.4 GHz and 450 Mbps for 5GHz along with compatibility with the older models of 802.11 series (Bejarano, Knightly &Park, 2013). The only con of the deemed system is its higher cost and is not immune tointerference in 2.4 GHz.
