A field technician configures a handheld logistics terminal that connects directly to a wearable barcode scanner and a wireless headset via short-range Bluetooth. While docked inside the warehouse facility, the terminal syncs inventory records over a local 802.11ax Wi-Fi network. Which of the following network scope classifications are implemented in this setup? (Select TWO).
- Personal Area Network (PAN) for the Bluetooth connections between the terminal and wearable peripheralsAnswer
- Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for the 802.11ax Wi-Fi connection within the warehouse facilityAnswer
- CWide Area Network (WAN) for the direct short-range pairing of peripheral hardware
- DMetropolitan Area Network (MAN) for the local Wi-Fi data transfers inside the warehouse facility
Answer
The correct classifications are Personal Area Network (PAN) for the Bluetooth peripheral connectivity and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) for the facility Wi-Fi network.
Personal Area Networks (PANs) utilize short-range technologies like Bluetooth to link individual user devices and peripherals. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) provide wireless network connectivity across a localized environment such as a single warehouse or building.
