    This document provides an overview of Wi-Fi technology. It discusses what Wi-Fi is, the various Wi-Fi standards, network topologies, configurations, elements, how a Wi-Fi network works, applications, and security considerations. Wi-Fi allows wireless connectivity using radio frequencies to transmit data without wires. Common standards are 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g, which operate at different frequencies and speeds. Wi-Fi networks can be configured in various topologies like access point based, peer-to-peer, or bridge. Security is important and techniques like WEP, WPA, and MAC filtering can be used.

    Introduction

    Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless mode. mode. WiWi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for 802. Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).It was (WLANs). developed by key Brown to be used for mobile computing devices and laptops. laptops.

    WiWi-Fi also allows connectivity in peer-to-peer peer-tomode, which enable devices to connect directly to each other

    The Wi-Fi Standards WiWiWi-Fi Networks use Radio Technologies called IEEE 802.11 to transmit & receive data at high 802. speed The most familiar standards are: are:

    IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.11g

    WiWi-Fi Network Topologies

    APAP-based topology (Infrastructure Mode) Peer-toPeer-to-peer topology (Ad-hoc Mode) (AdPoint-toPoint-to-multipoint bridge topology

    APAP-based topology

    The client communicate through Access Point. Point. BSA-RF coverage provided by an AP. BSAAP. ESA-It consists of 2 or more BSA. ESABSA. ESA cell includes 10-15% overlap to allow 10-15% roaming. roaming.

    Peer-toPeer-to-peer topology

    AP is not required. Client devices with in a cell can communicate directly with each other. other. It is useful for setting up of a wireless network quickly and easily. easily.

    Wireless AdapterA wireless network adapter allows a computing device to join a wireless LAN. Wireless network adapter contain a built-in transmitter and receiver.

    How a Wi-Fi Network Works Wi

    Basic concept is same as Walkie talkies. talkies. A wireless network uses radio waves, just like cell phones and radio. radio. The communication is like 2-way radio communication
    1.A computer wireless adapter translates data into radio signal and transmits it using an antenna. antenna. 2.A wireless router receives the signal and decodes it. it.

    The process also works in reverse. reverse. The radios used for Wi-Fi communication can transmit Wiand receive radio waves, they convert 1s and 0s to radio waves and vice versa. versa.

    Adding Wi-Fi To Computers Wi    

    Buy a 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11b network card. Install the card. Install the drivers of the card. Find an 802.11 hotspot. Access the spot.

    HotspotHotspot-a connection point for a WiFi network . It is a small small box that is hardwired into the internet

    WiWi-Fi Security
    The requirements for Wi-Fi network Wisecurity can be broken down into two primary components: components: Authentication
     

    User Authentication Server Authentication

    Privacy

    Authentication

    Keeping unauthorized users off the network User Authentication Authentication Server is used Username and password

    Risk:

    Data (username & password) send before secure channel established Prone to passive eavesdropping by attacker Establishing a encrypted channel before sending username and password

    Solution

    Server Authentication Digital Certificate is used Validation of digital certificate occurs automatically within

    WiWi-Fi Security Techniques


    Wired Equivalency Privacy(WEP)  numerical password  WiFi Protected Access(WPA)  signing on a password  Media Access Control(MAC)  MAC address for each computer
    

    Advantages
           

    Easy setup&Inexpensinve Performance Security Roaming Moblity&Flexibility Cost Reliability Speed

    LIMITATIONS
    Security concerns  Interference from other devices  Degradation in performance  High power consumption  Limited range
    

    CONCLUSION
    

    It is just beginning of Wi-Fi to see the next Wiphase of Wi-Fi movement. So it is to Wibecome expected even bigger & hotter technology for both home & business
