Uses electrical signals to offer speeds up to 10 Gbps over short distances.

A network capable of 20 Mbps average transmission speed, downloading a movie in 6 minutes.

Operates at an older standard speed of 3 Mbps and takes roughly 2 hours to download a movie.

Provides ultra-fast indoor home speeds of 1300 Mbps but struggles to penetrate walls.

Creating a tiny network to connect wireless headphones directly to your smartphone.

V. Arrange in proper sequence

Order the following steps logically from first to last (1, 2, 3, 4).

21. Connecting a device via Bluetooth:

The user selects the device they want to pair with from a settings menu.

Devices scan the area for other devices that have Bluetooth turned on.

A user turns on Bluetooth Wireless Technology on each device.

A password or code is entered (if required), and the devices are successfully paired to send data.

22. Making a call on a cellular network:

The base station works out which cell the phone you want to call is in.

Radio signals from your phone travel to the local base station within your cell.

The final base station receives the signals and transmits them to the destination phone.

The base station transmits signals using radio waves to other base stations until it reaches the correct cell.

True False

25. Bluetooth Wireless Technology requires a router or WAP to allow devices to communicate.

True False

26. Fiber Optic cables experience zero electrical interference.

True False

27. When driving long distances, your phone uses a handover process to switch between base stations without interrupting your internet data.
