The A to Z Encylopedia of Wireless Technology

An anonymous reader writes "Silicon.com's Encyclopedia of Wireless Technology takes a stab at untangling the assorted standards associated with wi-fi — including potted explanations of the likes of Zigbee, UMTS, HSDPA and WiMax." From the article: "Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), also called W-CDMA, is one of the 3G mobile standards jockeying for position in Europe. First introduced into the UK by 3 in 2003, it is sometimes called 3GSM as it is a 3G tech designed to replace GSM. UMTS has the potential to support 11Mbps data transfer rates and can be used for things like mobile videoconferencing."

This seems to be a marketing buzzword collection(only 26 one for each letter harrrr) and not an "Encyclopedia".

Y is for Yucca because plants distort wifi signal.
Thats simply in there because they could find a buzzword in the wifi realm that starts with Y.
