A) Active RFID
B) Semi-passive RFID
C) RFID Accelerometer
D) Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

RFID Accelerometers are devices that combine RFID technology with an accelerometer to measure the rate of change of velocity. They are used in various applications, including tracking the speed of vehicles like trucks and taxis.

Question 9

What is mobile application management (MAM)?
A) Blends personal and business use of technology devices and applications.
B) Remotely controls smartphones and tablets, ensuring data security.
C) Allows mobile voice calls to be made over broadband networks, creating-under the right network conditions-clearer audio and fewer dropped calls.
D) Administers and delivers applications to corporate and personal smartphones and tablets.

Accepted Answer

Mobile Application Management (MAM) refers to the process of administering and delivering applications to both corporate and personal smartphones and tablets, focusing on the management of the apps themselves rather than the devices.

Question 10

Which tags use a battery to run the microchip's circuitry but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader?
A) Active RFID
B) Semi-passive RFID
C) RFID Accelerometer
D) Chipless RFID

Accepted Answer

Semi-passive RFID tags have a battery to run the microchip's circuitry but communicate by drawing power from the RFID reader, which differentiates them from active RFID tags that use a battery for both the microchip's circuitry and communication.

Question 11

Which of the following is not a primary use of GIS?
A) Finding what is nearby from a specific location
B) Mapping densities
C) Routing information
D) Ensuring safety equipment is on an airplane before a flight

Accepted Answer

GIS, or Geographic Information Systems, is primarily used for spatial analysis, which includes finding locations, mapping densities, and routing information. Ensuring safety equipment is on an airplane before a flight does not involve spatial analysis and is therefore not a primary use of GIS.

Question 12

Which business application uses electronic tags and labels to identify objects wirelessly over short distances?
A) Radio-frequency identification
B) Global positioning systems
C) Geographic information systems
D) Location-based services

Accepted Answer

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electronic tags and labels to identify objects wirelessly over short distances, making it the correct choice for the described application.

Question 13

What stores, views, and analyzes geographic data creating multidimensional charts or maps?
A) Automatic vehicle location
B) Geographic information system
C) Cartography
D) Edge matching

Accepted Answer

Geographic information system (GIS) is a computer system that stores, views, and analyzes geographic data creating multidimensional charts or maps.

Question 14

Which business application consists of hardware, software, and data that provide location information for display on a multidimensional map?
A) Radio-frequency identification
B) Global positioning systems
C) Geographic information systems
D) Location-based services

Accepted Answer

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) consist of hardware, software, and data that are used to capture, manage, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information. This allows for the visualization of data on multidimensional maps, making it the correct choice.

Question 15

Which of the below uses both GIS and GPS?
A) Navigation
B) Wireless advertising
C) Vehicle location
D) All of the choices are correct

Accepted Answer

All the options listed utilize both GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and GPS (Global Positioning System) technologies. Navigation systems use GPS to determine the user's location and GIS to map out routes. Wireless advertising can use GPS to identify a user's location and GIS to deliver location-specific advertisements. Vehicle location services use GPS to track the vehicle's position and GIS to display this information on a map.
