• Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology, which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless mode.
• Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs).
• Wi-Fi Network connect computers to each other, to the internet and to the wired network.

Wi-Fi Networks use Radio Technologies to transmit & receive data at high speed:
• IEEE 802.11b• IEEE 802.11a• IEEE 802.11g

•Appear in late 1999•Operates at 2.4GHZ radio spectrum•11Mbps(theoretical speed) within 30m range•4-6Mbps(actual speed)•100-150 feet range•Most popular, least expensive

•Introduced in 2001•Operates at 5GHZ(less popular)•54 Mbps(theoretical speed)•15-20Mbps (actual speed)•50-75feet range•More expensive•Not compatible with 802.11b

•It is extension of 802.11b,and shorter range than 802.11b•54Mbps(theoretical speed)•20-25Mbps(actual speed)•50-75feeet range•More expensive

• Access Point (AP) - The AP is a wireless LAN transceiver or “base station” that can connect one or many wireless devices simultaneously to the Internet.
• Wi-Fi cards - They accept the wireless signal and relay information.They can be internal and external.(e.g PCMCIA Card for Laptop and PCI Card for Desktop PC)
• Safeguards - Firewalls and anti-virus software protect networks from uninvited users and keep information secure.

• Basic concept is same as Walkie talkies.• A Wi-Fi hotspot is created by installing an access
point to an internet connection.• An access point acts as a base station. • When Wi-Fi enabled device encounters a hotspot
the device can then connect to that network wirelessly.
• A single access point can support up to 30 users and can function within a range of 100 – 150 feet indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors.
• Many access points can be connected to each other via Ethernet cables to create a single large network.

• AP-based topology
• Peer-to-peer topology
• Point-to-multipoint bridge topology

• Wireless technology doesn’t remove any old security issues, but introduces new ones• Eavesdropping• Man-in-the-middle attacks• Denial of Service

• Service Set Identifier (SSID)
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• 802.1X Access Control
• Wireless Protected Access (WPA)
• IEEE 802.11i

Speed – Slower than cable Range – Affected by various medium Travels best through open space Reduced by walls, glass, water, etc
