A municipal wireless architect tracks evolving standards for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRa-class IoT. Which awareness of standards organizations is most accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picture IEEE as the rulebook printers for 802-ish radio languages, while Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, and LoRa Alliance run the brand clubs and interoperability badges. Do not swap their homework—Bluetooth SIG is not writing your 802.11 PHYs.
Full Explanation
IEEE produces base standards such as 802.11 and 802.15 families, while industry alliances (Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG, LoRa Alliance) drive certification, branding, and ecosystem profiles for their technologies. Confusing those roles—for example attributing WPA3 to the LoRa Alliance or claiming Wi-Fi Alliance replaced IEEE—undermines standards tracking for municipal architects.
