    +ntroduction
    Wireless Technology is an alternati"e to Wired Technology% which is commonly used% for connecting de"ices in wireless mode& Wi-Fi 'Wireless Fidelity( is a generic term that refers to the IEEE )*+&,, communications standard for Wireless -ocal Area Networks 'W-ANs(& Wi-Fi Network connect computers to each other% to the internet and to the wired network& Wi-Fi works on physical and data link layer&

    %urpo#e
    The purpose of Wi-Fi is to hide comple.ity /y ena/ling wireless access to applications and data% media and streams&

    The main aims of Wi-Fi are the following0 make access to information easier ensure compati/ility and co-e.istence of de"ices eliminate ca/ling and wiring eliminate switches% adapters% plugs% pins and connectors

    Wi !i *""iance
    The Alliance promotes standards with the aim of impro"ing the interopera/ility of wireless local area network products /ased on the IEEE )*+&,, standards& The Wi-Fi Alliance% a consortium of separate and independent companies% agrees on a set of common interopera/le products /ased on the family of IEEE )*+&,, standards&The Wi-Fi Alliance certifies products "ia a set of defined testprocedures to esta/lish interopera/ility& The Wi-Fi Alliance initially complicated matters /y stating that it actually stood for 1Wireless Fidelity1% as with the ad"ertising slogan1The !tandard for Wireless Fidelity1% /ut later remo"ed the phrase from their marketing&

    Access Point 'AP( - The AP is a wireless -AN transcei"er or >/ase station? that can connect one or many wireless de"ices simultaneously to the Internet& Wi-Fi cards - They accept the wireless signal and relay information&They can /e internal and e.ternal&'e&g P 8 IA ard for -aptop and P I ard for $esktop P ( !afeguards - Firewalls and anti-"irus software protect networks from unin"ited users and keep information secure&

    @asic concept is same as Walkie talkies& A Wi-Fi hotspot is created /y installing an access point to an internet connection& An access point acts as a /ase station& When Wi-Fi ena/led de"ice encounters a hotspot the de"ice can then connect to that network wirelessly&

    A single access point can support up to 9* users and can function within a range of ,** up to 9** feet& 8any access points can /e connected to each other "ia Ethernet ca/les to create a single large network&

    AP is not re=uired& lient de"ices within a cell can communicate directly with each other&

    It is useful for setting up of a wireless network =uickly and easily&

    This is used to connect a -AN in one /uilding to a -ANs in other /uildings e"en if the /uildings are miles apart& These conditions recei"e a clear line of sight /etween /uildings& The line-of-sight range "aries /ased on the type of wireless /ridge and antenna used as well as the en"ironmental conditions&
