Wi-Fi , also spelled Wifi or WiFi , is a local area wireless technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet using 2.4 GHz UHF and 5 GHz SHF ISM radio bands . The name is a trademark, and is a play on the audiophile term Hi-Fi . The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network" (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers ' (IEEE) 802.11 standards ". [1] However, since most modern WLANs are based on these standards, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym for "WLAN". Only Wi-Fi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" trademark |

Wi-Fi (also WiFi , wifi , etc.) is a brand originally licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance ® to describe the underlying technology of wireless local area networks ( WLAN ) based on the IEEE 802.11 specifications. It was developed to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs , but is now increasingly used for more services, including Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players, or digital cameras. More standards are in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce (see IEEE 802.11p ). Wi-Fi ® and the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED ™ logo are registered trademarks of the Wi-Fi Alliance - the trade organization that tests and certifies equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards. |
