What is the frequency range of the IEEE 802.11a standard?

  • A.2.4Gbps
  • B.5Gbps
  • C.2.4GHz
  • D.
    5GHz

Answer: D

Correct answer: 5GHz

802.11a operates in the 5 GHz U-NII bands. Note that two of the options are given in Gbps - a data rate, not a frequency - so they can be eliminated on units alone before any knowledge of the standard is applied. The move to 5 GHz is what gives 802.11a its twelve non-overlapping channels and its shorter range, since higher frequencies attenuate faster.
