1000Base - T
See Gigabit Ethernet.
100Base-T
An increasingly common Ethernet wiring standard that works almost exactly like 10Base-T, but increases the maximum throughput to 100 Mbps. 100Base-T is often called "Fast Ethernet."
10Base-2
An Ethernet wiring standard that uses thin coaxial cable, has a maximum segment length of 185 meters, runs at 10 Mbps, uses a bus network topology, and isn't in common use any more. 10Base-2 is also called "ThinNet."
10Base-5
An Ethernet wiring standard that uses thick coaxial cable, has a maximum segment length of 500 meters, uses a bus network topology, runs at 10 Mbps, and isn't in common use any more. 10Base-5 is also called "ThickNet."
10Base-T
The most common Ethernet wiring standard. 10Base-T uses twisted pair wiring that's used to connect buildings' telephone wire to the telephone company, runs at 10 Mbps, uses a star network topology, and is limited to a maximum segment length of 100 meters.
1G
The original analog, voice-only cellular telephone standard, developed in the 1980s. Analog cellular service is being phased out in all but the most rural areas in the United States.
1x
A prefix for cellular data technology that indicates that only 1.25 MHz of spectrum are in use.
1xEV-DO
An upcoming third-generation cellular data technology for CDMA networks in testing by Verizon Wireless. EV-DO stands for Evolution Data Optimized (but is sometimes referred to as Evolution Data Only).
1xEV-DV
An upcoming third-generation cellular data technology for CDMA networks in testing by Sprint PCS and AT&T Wireless. EV-DV stands for Evolution Data/Voice.
1xRTT
A cellular data technology for CDMA networks. RTT stands for Radio Transmission Technology. 1xRTT has a theoretical maximum of 144 Kbps of bandwidth, but achieves a practical throughput of only 50 to 70 Kbps in the real world.
