{'communication technologies': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'range devices': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'wireless local area network': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'technologies': [0, 0, 1, 4], 'circuit television': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'radio frequency identification': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

  1. All of the communication technologies mentioned are considered short-range devices/technologies.

    Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) is a video surveillance system that uses a closed circuit to transmit video signals from a camera to a designated monitor or set of monitors. CCTV systems are typically used for security purposes and are limited to short-range transmission.

    Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a wireless technology that uses radio waves to communicate between a tag and a reader. RFID is used for tracking and identification purposes and is generally limited to short-range transmission.

    Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a wireless network that connects devices within a limited area, such as a home, office, or campus. WLANs use radio waves to communicate between devices and are generally limited to short-range transmission.
