Huawei Certified ICT Associate – WLAN (HCIA-WLAN) — Question 24

Which of the following statements about WLAN and Wi-Fi is true?

Answer options

• A. WLAN and Wi-Fi are identical technologies.
• B. Wi-Fi is an implementation of the WLAN standard.
• C. WLAN is short for wireless local authentication network.
• D. WLAN is a type of Wi-Fi technology.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Wi-Fi is indeed a specific implementation based on the WLAN standards defined by the IEEE. Option A is incorrect as they are not identical; while related, they are not the same. Option C is false since WLAN actually stands for wireless local area network, and option D is misleading as WLAN is not a type of Wi-Fi but rather encompasses it.
