wired vs wireless

[beely]

i got a question here.
are phone line network and power line network categoried in wireless tech ?

 

[Robert]

huh? What?

 

[beely]

oh ...

well, just for info. there's wired and wireless technology.

wired = ethernet networking
while wireless = wifi, homeRF and etc

so, how about phone line networking and power line networking

 

[GregT]

I would think wired, since there's wires transmitting the data.

 

[Robert]

And wireless doesn't transmit data? I don't understand what you are asking

You're not being very clear with your terms. Ethernet is not confined to wired -- "WiFi" is 802.11.b/g Ethernet.

To answer your question, power line and phone line based connections would be considered wired.

 

[Robert]

that's what I'm saying.

Wired would be: DSL (all kinds), Cable HSI, BPL
Wireless would be: Sat., Wifi,

 

[GregT]

And wireless doesn't transmit data? I don't understand what you are asking

Where did I say that?

I said it's wired when wires transmit the data.

 

[Wojtek]

And I supose wired ethernet is faster then bluethoot ethernet, is it?

What about 802.11a?

 

[trenzterra]

What about 802.11a?

It's [almost] dead.

 

[Wojtek]

Hey, it's still valid.

There is still 802.11a equipment out there.

It's still in use.
