Chris is a network technician and is reviewing some trade and technical journals regarding wireless technology. He happens to notice an article on a new technology that has laid the groundwork for ubiquitous wireless connectivity. If successful, it would reduce or eliminate the need for the current coverage model of high-cost base stations by allowing mobile systems to switch from one network type to another based on location. Of the statements below, which one most closely describes what Chris is reading about?

A. A single-chip 802.11 a/b/g transceiver that allows wireless users to roam across different wireless technologies.
B. A single-chip 802.11 and OSI Layer 3 transceiver that allows wireless users to roam across different subnets.
C. A single-chip 802.11 and Bluetooth transceiver that allows wireless users to roam across different spread spectrum technologies.
D. A single-chip 802.11 and cellular RF transceiver that allows wireless users to roam between WLAN and Cellular technologies

I'll have a guess at B. :roll:

 

I would say D.

Probably very very wrong

 

Um, I'm gonna guess at B

 

Answer time. Correct answer is D. Quorum Systems in Manhasset, NY has developed a chip that allows for WLAN to cellular roaming, complete with wireless VoIP. Good for roaming MANs.

More later.
