Technology is no longer judged by its
technical brilliance, but by the return on
investment (both tangible and Wi-Fi, or wireless fidelity, is freedom: it

Wireless LANs are based on a set of technologies known by the IEEE specification number, 802.11
which was finalized in June 1997.The figure indicates the model developed by the 802.11 working
group.

Conclusion
In this article we have learnt how,
essentially, Wi-Fi is really for when
cabling is not a feasible option and
Bluetooth is for intercommunication
between devices without the need for a
PC. Bluetooth makes connecting various
devices to each other without the need
for cables a fairly easy task, whereas
802.11-based products can extend, or
replace, a wired Local Area Network.
From a personal user’s point-of-view, I
would suggest - if possible - having both
available if your everyday life requires
you to travel to different destinations and
meet different people. This way you will
always be ready, if one isn’t available
then you can use the other.
