- Ethernet [r]: An early proprietary standard for local area networks developed by IEEE Project 802; the term has become generic for various connectors and communications techniques although the name of a standard would be more precise. [e]
- Wireless local area network [r]: A local area network, with a range in hundreds to thousands of meters, which transfers high-speed digital data without a direct physical connection between nodes on the network, usually by radio; the nodes are assumed to stay in one general area, as opposed to moving widely as in cellular telephony [e]
- IEEE 802 address [r]: In computer networking, an address that can be made unique for individual network interface cards or other physical medium interfaces [e]
- IEEE 802.3 [r]: The primary standards body for evolved ethernet over physical media protocols. [e]
- IEEE 1394 [r]: Also called FireWire, a standard interface between computers and peripherals [e]
- MIL-STD-1553 [r]: An extensively used interconnection standard among military electronics components, slow in comparison with local area networks but intended for simple command-response control in electrically noisy environments [e]
