Wi-Fi, also, WiFi, Wi-fi or wifi, is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications.

Wi-Fi was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs, but is now increasingly used for more applications, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players, or digital cameras. There are even more standards in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce IEEE 802.11p.

A person with a Wi-Fi device, such as a computer, telephone, or personal digital assistant (PDA) can connect to the Internet when in proximity of an access point. The region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Hotspots can range from a single room to many square miles of overlapping hotspots. Wi-Fi can also be used to create a Wireless mesh network. Both architectures are used in Wireless community network, municipal wireless networks like Wireless Philadelphia and metro-scale networks like M-Taipei.

Wi-Fi also allows connectivity in peer-to-peer mode, which enables devices to connect directly with each other. This connectivity mode is useful in consumer electronics and gaming applications.

When the technology was first commercialized there were many problems because consumers could not be sure that products from different vendors would work together. The Wi-Fi Alliance began as a community to solve this issue so as to address the needs of the end user and allow the technology to mature. The Alliance created another brand "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" to denote products are interoperable with other products displaying the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" brand.

Answer 5

Wireless Fidelity. It's a take on Hi-Fi (High Fidelity) that suggests a strong, fast wireless connection.

Answer 6

wireless is short for on the spot constancy and is meant for use generically even as concerning any style of 802.eleven community, even if 802.11b, 802.11a, twin band, and so on. The time period is promulgated by employing the wireless Alliance. Any 2 wireless products employing an same radio frequency will artwork at the same time.

Answer 7

wi-fi stands for wireless fidelity, it enables you to connect to the network or internet wireless, the laptop should have wireless access card (PCMCIA or USB) or latest laptops runing on Centrino.

Answer 8

Wireless connection between computers, and possibly to the internet.

Answer 9

its a wireless setup, usually related to a wireless connection

Answer 10

What mean grammar to you? (I have to point out that I used sarcasm there because a lot of people don't understand that.)
