Describe the latest 802.11 xxx standard. 1a. What are the benefits compared to previous standards?

1b. What is the current fastest speed possible?

1c. Can this wireless be used to replace all wired connections?

Answer 1

1a. 802.11 is basically called as wifi. 802.11 standards are wireless communication, but the previous versions are wired communications. It allows the user to access the internet within a specified range without any connection to the device. The speed of this is more than the previous versions.

1b. 802.11a provides a maximum speed of 54Mbps. This is the current fastest speed possible.

1c. We cannot replace all the wired connections as wireless because we have a low range if we use wireless connections, so for large ranges, we use wired connections only to overcome data loss. So, it is not possible to replace all wired connections with a wireless connection.
