Communication Technology

Consider the following communication technologies:

  1. Closed-circuit Television
  2. Radio Frequency Identification
  3. Wireless Local Area Network Which of the above are considered Short-Range devices/technologies?

D.1, 2 and 3
C.1 and 3 only
A.1 and 2 only
B.2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option D

This question is about Short Range Devices (SRDs). SRDs are low-power radio devices with a limited range, designed to minimize interference.

The following are examples of Short Range Devices:

  • Closed-circuit television (CCTV)
  • Radio frequency identification (RFID)
  • Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN)
  • Access control systems
  • Alarms and movement detectors
  • Cordless audio devices
  • Industrial control systems
  • Medical implants
  • Metering devices
  • Remote control systems

Therefore, all the given options are Short Range Devices/Technologies.

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
