What is the maximum signaling rate if the Operates in the 5 GHz frequency range of the IEEE 802.11a standard? Correct Answer 54 Mbps

The correct answer is option 4.

Concept:

   802.11a is an IEEE standard for transmitting data over a wireless network. It uses a 5 GHz frequency band and supports data transfer rates of 54 Mbps or 6.75 megabytes per second.

  • IEEE 802.11a was the first Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) system in the IEEE 802.11 family.
  • IEEE 802.11a established a Wi-Fi standard for wireless communication in the 5 GHz ISM band, with raw data rates of up to 54Mbps.
  • Although it is the first standard in the 802.11 series alphabetically, it was introduced in 1999 at the same time as IEEE 802.11b, which was intended for 2.4 GHz ISM band communication.
  • IEEE 802.11a was more expensive and complex to implement at the time since it ran at 5 GHz rather than 2.4 GHz, and as a result, it was less extensively adopted.

Hence the correct answer is 54 Mbps.
