Assignment 2: The Need for Wireless Standards and Protocols

The networking field, to include wireless networking, defines many standards to govern network and wireless network operations. It is important to become familiar with the standards organizations and their current standards, standards that are currently being revised, and new standards being considered.

Write a 4–5-page paper in which you do the following:

  1. Select one national standards organization and one international standards organization that impact wireless technologies. Describe the impact that each standards’ organization has on wireless technologies on the planning and development of corporate networks.
  2. Assess the breadth of the standards provided by each of the previously chosen organizations (national and international) and address where advancements or enhancements are needed.
  3. Select one formal and one de facto wireless standard. Assess the relative importance of that standard and address if the standard will remain stable, if there are enhancements that are currently needed, or if the standard will soon become obsolete.
  4. Use at least four quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with 1-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are as follows:

Answer preview

Wireless networks refer to computers that are connected wirelessly without cables. The wide application of wireless networks necessitates the development of standards and protocols for regulation purposes. Several organizations have emerged that create standards for the use of wireless networks. Examples of such organizations are IEEE and NIST. IEEE is an international organization whose members are drawn from around the globe, and it creates standards that govern the wireless networks. NIST, on the other hand, is…
