Working groups of IEEE
The institute of electrical and electronics engineers is a body responsible for setting standards. There is the numbering of the standards, and the subset is the actual standard. One working group in the IEEE is the 802.11 wireless network standards. 802.11 is standards collections for wireless networking. Some of the popular standards include 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11g, and 802.11b. They all use the standard to connect to the network and has a limit for data transfer speeds. The first wireless standard was the 802.11a. It operates in a 5 GHz radio band and can attain a maximum of 54Mbps. This standard was not popular as compared to its counterpart 802.11b due to its low range and higher pricing (Patel, 2015).

Another important function of the IEEE standards is collision detection. Before data is transferred in a network, there ought to be a check whether the network line if free. Once the network is free, then data can be transferred from one user to another. The IEEE 802 detects fragments of transmission in the network and signifies the users. The above functions justify the importance of IEEE 802 in a network system (Lu et al., 2015).
Standards Organizations
ISO is the international organization for standardization. ISO 9001:2000 standard is critical for quality systems that outside auditors analyze. The standard is based on design, documentation, testing, production, and servicing among others.
ANSI is the American national standards institute, which is the main standards body in the United States. It works together with ASQ and IEEE to ensure the provision of the best …show more content…
This is because such bodies come up with rules and regulations that govern the use of technology. Regulations ensure the users of these systems are taken into considerations. Also, these standards align with the safety of system users. The contractors should use systems are safe, and they are comfortable with.
Governments should have oversight authorities that ensure that while these bodies are creating standards they have the interests of the people in mind. Standards such as performance and design are critical. It provides the consumers with information when they want to acquire certain equipment. The prescriptive specification such as type, thickness, and dimension are crucial for system users (Ninkovich, Christensen, & Cameron, 2016). The consumer issues should be considered when developing system because it directly affects
