    The document discusses the 802.11a and 802.11g physical layer standards for wireless local area networks. 802.11a uses orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) with 52 subcarriers and data rates from 6 to 54 Mbps. 802.11g operates at 2.4 GHz and is backward compatible with 802.11b, with data rates from 1 to 54 Mbps using modulations like direct sequence spread spectrum, complementary code keying, and OFDM. The Wi-Fi Alliance tests and certifies products for interoperability and promotes wireless technology standards.
