Communication can occur wirelessly over cellular radio or satellites, without the use of physical wires. (True/False)

In a network, users can share all connected devices, such as printers or internet lines. (True/False)

Peer-to-peer networks have centralized servers that provide resources to other connected devices. (True/False)

Networks are only formed by connecting computers; devices such as smartphones and tablets are excluded. (True/False)

A network provides the advantage of sharing only software through a network license. (True/False)

All communication devices function by transmitting data, instructions, and information to and from other computers or devices. (True/False)

In a local area network (LAN), wireless technology is not used to connect devices (WLAN).

The internet is not considered a wide area network (WAN).

The client-server architecture always involves one computer acting as a servant providing services to the rest of the devices connected to the network.

Peer-to-peer networks are typically used to serve more than 10 computers.

The main function of a server in client-server architecture is to manage access to resources such as hardware, software, data, and information.

In a local area network (LAN), physical wires are not used to connect devices.

A wide area network (WAN) does not cover a large geographical area such as a city, country, or the whole world.

In a peer-to-peer network, all connected computers share the same responsibilities and capabilities.

In a client-server architecture, a server does not provide the rest of the connected devices in the network with a central storage space.

Network architecture does not involve two main categories: client-server architecture and peer-to-peer architecture.
