Test your knowledge of different network types by answering the following networking questions. Each correct answer includes a short explanation to help you understand why it is right.
Question 1
What type of network allows computers in a home office or a remote office to connect to a corporate network?
- world wide network
- medium to large network
- smart home network
- small office home office network ✅
Why this is correct:
A Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network is designed for remote workers, home businesses, or small offices that need to connect to larger corporate networks. It provides secure access to company resources while being cost-effective and easy to set up. Unlike a wide-area network (WAN) or enterprise-scale network, SOHO networks are simpler but still support essential tasks such as file sharing, printing, and secure internet access. This makes them the best choice for home offices and small businesses.
Question 2
What can be placed in or on a package so that it can be tracked?
- network interface card
- actuator
- sensor
- RFID tag ✅
Why this is correct:
An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag is a small electronic device that can be attached to or embedded in packages, products, or assets to track and identify them. RFID tags store digital data and use radio waves to communicate with RFID readers. This makes them more efficient than traditional barcodes, as they can be scanned wirelessly, even without direct line of sight. In logistics and supply chain management, RFID tags play a critical role in inventory tracking, package monitoring, and reducing human error.
