Understanding Wireless Data Transfer

What technology do digital devices use to transfer data wirelessly?

• Optical fibers

• Ethernet cables

• Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks

• Infrared signals

How do radio waves facilitate wireless communication?

• Wireless communication relies solely on fiber optic cables.

• Radio waves are used to power electronic devices directly.

• Radio waves enable wireless communication by transmitting modulated signals through the air between transmitters and receivers.

• Radio waves can only transmit audio signals without modulation.

What is Wi-Fi and how does it work?

• Wi-Fi is a type of wired connection using fiber optics.

• Wi-Fi is a technology that only works with Bluetooth devices.

• Wi-Fi is a satellite-based internet service that requires a dish.

• Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide high-speed internet and network connections.

What are cellular networks used for?

• Cellular networks are used for satellite communication only.

• Cellular networks are only used for landline telephone services.

• Cellular networks are used for wireless communication, including voice calls, text messaging, and internet access.

• Cellular networks are primarily for broadcasting television signals.

How does bandwidth affect the speed of a network?

• Higher bandwidth decreases network speed.

• Bandwidth has no effect on network speed.

• Lower bandwidth increases network speed.

• Higher bandwidth increases network speed, while lower bandwidth decreases it.

What happens to network performance when bandwidth is low?

• Network performance improves with low bandwidth.

• Network performance decreases due to increased latency and slower data transfer rates.

• Network performance becomes faster with low bandwidth.

• Low bandwidth has no effect on network performance.

What does it mean for a network to be overloaded?

• A network is overloaded when it operates at maximum speed.

• A network is overloaded when it has too many devices connected.

• A network is overloaded when it has insufficient security measures.

• A network is overloaded when its data transmission demand exceeds its capacity.

How can too many devices affect a Wi-Fi network?

• Devices have no impact on Wi-Fi connectivity.

• Too many devices can cause network congestion, slowing down speeds and increasing latency.

• Too many devices can enhance signal strength.

• More devices improve network speed and performance.

Why is it important to keep data secure during transmission?

• It is important to keep data secure during transmission to protect it from unauthorized access and ensure its integrity.

• Data can be safely transmitted without encryption.

• Transmission security is not necessary for small files.

• Data security is only important for stored data.

What are some common methods to secure data while it's being sent?

• Storing data on local devices only

• Using plaintext for all communications

• Common methods to secure data while it's being sent include encryption (TLS/SSL), VPNs, and secure file transfer protocols (SFTP, FTPS).

• Disabling firewalls during data transfer
