| Description | An IEEE standard for wireless LAN networks. <802.11a> can send files wirelessly at speeds up to 54Mbps, but has a limited transmission range. It is also incompatible with the later <802.11b> and <802.11g> standards, making <802.11a> obsolete. It also has a wider reception range than <802.11a>, SO computers can be further from the wireless access point and still access the network. |
