    WIFI is a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless Internet access within an area. It connects devices like computers, phones and tablets to the Internet. A WIFI network uses access points that transmit and receive radio signals to connect wireless devices within a range of up to 150 feet indoors. Popular WIFI standards include IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11a, and IEEE802.11g.

    WIFI Technology

    WIFI is an alternative network to wired network


    which is commonly used for connecting devices
    in wireless mode.
    WIFI Technology

    WIFI is stand for Wireless Fidelity is generic term


    that refers to IEEE802.11 standard for Wireless
    Local Networks or WLANs.
    Introduction
    WIFI connects computers to each other, to the
    internet and to the wirednetwork.
    The WIFI Technology

    WIFI uses radio technology to transmit and


    receive data at high speed.

     IEEE802.11b
     IEEE802.11a
     IEEE802.11g
    IEEE802.11b

    Appear in Late 1999


    2.4Ghz radio spectrum
    11Mbps (theoretical speed) within 30m range
    4-6Mbps (actual speed)
    100-150 feet range
    Most popular and Lessexpansive
    Interference from mobile phones and Bluetooth
    devices which can reduce the transmission speed
    IEEE802.11a

     introduced in 2001
     5.0Ghz radio spectrum
     54Mbps (theoretical speed)
    15-20Mbps (actual speed)
     50-75 feet range
     more expansive
     not compatible with IEEE802.11b

    Elements of WIFInetwork

     Access Point (AP) - The AP is a wireless LAN


    transceiver or “base station” that can connect one or
    many wireless simultaneously to the
    devices Internet.

     Wi-Fi cards - They accept the wireless signal


    and relay information. They can be internal
    and external.
    Elements of WIFInetwork

     Safeguards - Firewalls and anti-virus software protect


    networks from uninvited users and keep information
    secure.
    WIFI Topologies

     Peer-to-peer topology (Ad-hoc Mode)

     AP-based topology (Infrastructure Mode)


    Peer-to-peerTopology

     APis not required.

     Client devices within a cell can communicate with


    each other directly.

     It is useful for setting up a wireless network


    quickly and easily.
    Peer-to-peerTopology
    Infrastructurenetwork
     The client communicate through Access Point.

     Any communication has to go through AP.

     If a Mobile Station (MS), like a computer, a PDA, or


    a phone, wants to communicate with another MS,
    it needs to send the information to APfirst, then
    APsends it to the destination MS.
    Infrastructurenetwork
    Hotspots
     A Hotspot is a geographical area that has a readily
    accessible wireless network

     Hotspots are equipped with Broad band Internet


    connection and one or more Access points that
    allow users to access the internet wirelessly
    Hotspots
     Hotspots can be setup in any public location that
    can support an Internet connection. All the
    locations discussed previously are examples of
    Hotspots.

     Hotspots can be setup in any public location that

    locations discussed previously are examples of
    Hotspots.
    How a Wi-Fi NetworkWorks
     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.
    How a Wi-Fi NetworkWorks
     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.
    How a Wi-Fi NetworkWorks
    Advantages
     Mobility
     Ease of Installation
     Flexibility
     Cost
     Reliability
     Security
     Use unlicensed part of the radio spectrum
     Roaming
     Speed
    Limitations

     Interference
     Degradation in performance
     High power consumption
     Limited range
     Wi-Fi is a simple and cost effective way to
    connect to internet without the need of
    wires.
     It is growing in popularity because of
    decreasing costs and the freedom it gives
    to users.
