Frequency division multiplexed WANs are used to leverage the data carrying capacity of _____.
A)wireless media
B)copper wires
C)SONET
D)optical fiber

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frequency division multiplexing is commonly used in optical fiber WANs to divide the available bandwidth into multiple channels. This allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously without interfering with each other, thus leveraging the data carrying capacity of the optical fiber. Wireless media and copper wires are better suited for other types of multiplexing, such as time division multiplexing or code division multiplexing. SONET is a specific type of optical fiber technology that includes its own form of multiplexing, but it is not typically referred to as a frequency division multiplexed WAN.
