[Year 12 IT Apps] Transmission Media

[Howard, David]

Hi Anthony,

I can't recall a question where VCAA asked for a specific transfer rate however, the students need to know the capabilities and limitations of transfer media. I suppose you could look at relative measures such as 'fast, medium or slow' for transfer rate rather than worrying about the absolute transfer rate of 802.11g - 300Mbps etc

Cheers

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Transmission Media

We are revising transmission media today in class

Is there guidelines we should follow when discussing 'data transfer rate' and 'distance travelled' as these change constantly with new technology?
