802.11g

A standard provides a throughput up to 54 Mbps using OFDM technology. It also

operates in the 2.4GHz frequency band as 802.11b. 802.11g devices are backward

compatible with 802.11b devices.

802.11h

This IEEE standard define the TPC (transmission power control) and DFS (dynamic

frequency selection) required to operate WiFi devices in 5GHz for EU.

802.11i

The IEEE standard for wireless security, 802.11i standard includes TKIP, CCMP,

and AES encryption to improve wireless security. It is also know as WPA2.

802.11n

802.11n is a recent amendment which improves upon the previous 802.11

standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and many other newer

features. The IEEE has approved the amendment and it was published in October

2009.

Enterprises, however, have already begun migrating to 802.11n networks

based on the Wi-Fi Alliance's certification of products conforming to a 2007 draft of

the 802.11n proposal. 802.11n provides a throughput up to 300Mbps using OFDM

technology.

802.3ad

802.3ad is an IEEE standard for bonding or aggregating multiple Ethernet ports into

one virtual port (also known as trunking) to increase the bandwidth.

802.3af

This is the PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard by IEEE committee. 803.af uses

48V POE standard that can deliver up to 100 meter distance over Ethernet cable.
