Which of the following refers to a standard or group of standards that are still being developed as a part of overall IEEE 802.11 WLAN support?
- A.
  
  802.11x
- B.
  
  802.11i
- C.
  
  Both of the above
- D.
  
  Neither of the above
Correct Answer
C. Both of the above

Explanation
Both 802.11x and 802.11i refer to standards that are still being developed as part of the overall IEEE 802.11 WLAN support. The "x" in 802.11x represents a placeholder for various extensions and amendments to the original 802.11 standard, which are continuously being developed. On the other hand, 802.11i specifically focuses on security enhancements for wireless networks. Therefore, both options refer to ongoing developments within the IEEE 802.11 WLAN support.

Which of the following is a language that allows the text portions of Web pages to be presented on cellular telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) via wireless access?
- A.
  
  HDML
- B.
  
  Wireless Markup Language
- C.
  
  Both of the above
- D.
  
  Neither of the above
Correct Answer
C. Both of the above

Explanation
Both HDML and Wireless Markup Language (WML) are languages that allow the text portions of web pages to be presented on cellular telephones and PDAs via wireless access. HDML, or Handheld Device Markup Language, was developed by Openwave Systems in the 1990s specifically for mobile devices. WML, on the other hand, is an XML-based language developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for mobile devices. Both languages are used to create web content that can be accessed on mobile devices with wireless connectivity.

Developed by International Telecommunication Union (ITU), ______ is code-division multiple access (CDMA) version of the IMT-2000 standard.
- A.
  
  CDMA
- B.
  
  WCDMA
- C.
  
  CMYK
- D.
  
  CDMA2000
Correct Answer
D. CDMA2000

Explanation
CDMA2000 is the correct answer because it is the code-division multiple access (CDMA) version of the IMT-2000 standard. Developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), CDMA2000 is a set of 3G mobile communication standards that provide higher data rates and capacity compared to the earlier CDMA systems. It offers improved voice quality, increased network capacity, and support for advanced data services, making it a widely used technology in mobile telecommunications.

This is an industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and PDAs can easily interconnect with each other using a short-range wireless connection.
- A.
  
  Bluetooth
- B.
  
  EMI
- C.
  
  D-AMPS
- D.
  
  IrDA
Correct Answer
A. Bluetooth

Explanation
Bluetooth is the correct answer because it is an industry specification that allows for easy interconnection between mobile phones, computers, and PDAs using a short-range wireless connection. Bluetooth technology enables devices to communicate and share data wirelessly, making it a convenient and widely used method for connecting devices in various settings.

Which of the following is a faster version of GSM wireless service, designed to deliver data at rates up to 384 Kbps and enable the delivery of multimedia and other broadband applications to mobile phone and computer users?
- A.
  
  ESMR
- B.
  
  BREW
- C.
  
  EDGE
- D.
  
  ETRN
Correct Answer
C. EDGE

Explanation
EDGE is the correct answer because it is a faster version of GSM wireless service that can deliver data at rates up to 384 Kbps. It is specifically designed to enable the delivery of multimedia and other broadband applications to mobile phone and computer users. ESMR, BREW, and ETRN are not related to GSM wireless service or the delivery of data at high speeds.

_________ is a security protocol designed to provide a wireless LAN with a level of security and privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
- A.
  
  WEP
- B.
  
  802.11x
- C.
  
  RMON
- D.
  
  LDAP
Correct Answer
A. WEP

Explanation
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that aims to provide a wireless LAN with a level of security and privacy that is similar to what is typically expected from a wired LAN. It was designed to encrypt data transmitted over the wireless network, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and access sensitive information. However, WEP has been widely criticized for its vulnerabilities and is no longer considered secure.
