The IEEE 802.11g standard
This is a direct extension of the 802.11b that extends the maximum data rate to 54Mbps, making it possible to serve up to five times as many users. Our Wi-Fi network is based on the IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, which is the most commonly used standard. We have added Wi-Fi access points in our network to give easier access to corporate data and services. Most of the devices in this network, for example the personal computers, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and digital audio players connected using the Wi-Fi technology. The hotspot will be in the range of 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outside.
To improve security, the Wi-Fi uses various built-in WEP encryption technologies to prevent attacks from …show more content…

Data security: Magnetic fields and current induction work in two ways, they just don’t generate noise in signal carrying conductors; they also let the information on the conductor to be leaked out. Since there are no radiated magnetic fields around optical fibers; electromagnetic fields are confined within the fiber. This makes it impossible to tap the signal being transmitted over fiber cable. Thus the fiber cable is the most secure medium available for carrying sensitive data. iii. Non Conductive: A serious concern with outdoor cables in certain computer networks is they can be hit by lightning, causing destruction to wires and other cables that are involved in the network. Fiber optic cables can be made non-conductive by avoiding metal in their design. These kinds of cables are economical and standard for many indoor applications. Outdoor versions are more expensive since they require the special strength members, but they can still be valuable in eliminating ground loop and protecting electromagnetic equipment from surge damage. iv. Eliminating Spark hazards: Fiber optic cables do not produce sparks since they do not carry current. Most electric potentials create small sparks which can be extremely dangerous in areas like chemical plants or oil refinery where air is contaminated with potentially explosive
