Part I: True or False (1 pt. each)

Decide whether the following statements are True or False. You must give a brief explanation
to justify all your answers in order to receive full credit.

1. A Bluetooth device can participate in multiple piconets and it can directly


communicate with any of the members in the piconet.
2. A network of autonomous computers describes the fact that there are some
computers that can forcibly start and stop other computers.
3. Mesh network topology is not vulnerable for single point of failure.
4. What differentiates a fiber optics transmission medium is that it achieves a very high
data transmission rate while using the same method of signal transmission.
