INTRODUCTION:
Using Wi-Fi technology we can connect computers anywhere in a home or office without the need of any wires. The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and they can be up to 100 feet or so apart. Wi-Fi allows to connect to the internet from virtually anywhere at speeds of up to 54Mbps. Wi-Fi goes beyond wirelessly connecting computers, it also connects people.

Wireless Internet Access has four components that form its structure: 1)High-speed access which is also known as broadband is an internet connection . 2) Network Gateway is between your high-speed access connection and the wireless network. 3) Wireless local area network is a system of connecting PC's and other devices within the same physical proximity . 4) Wireless customers are people who have a PC and a wireless adapter .

WORKING:

When Wi-Fi Originated ?

The precursor to Wi-Fi was invented in 1991 by NCR Corporation in Nieuwege in the Netherland. The first wireless products were brought on the market under the name Wave LAN with speeds of 1 M bit/s to 2 M bit/s. Vic Hayes has been named as father of Wi-Fi.

HOTSPOT:
It is a small box that is hardwired into the Internet.
There are many Wi-Fi

hotspots now available in public places like restaurants, hotels, libraries and airports. We can create our own hotspot in our home.

CONFIGURING A NEW HOTSPOT IN A HOME:

Most wireless access points

come with default values builtin. Once we plug them in, they start working with these default values in 90 percent of the cases. Once it is configured properly, we can use our new hotspot to access the Internet from anywhere in our home

Threats of security:
Wi-Fi works with no physical wired connection between sender and receiver by using radio frequency.

The most common wireless encryption standards,wired equivalent privacy has been shown to be using breakable even when correctly configured.

Capabilities and uses

High data transmission rate and high reliability in all weather condition Wifi a robust solution suitable for high bandwidth applications Online video-conferencing with greater clarity Easier reach into far-flung rural areas Less maintenance overheads, especially in Rural areas where technical manpower is scarce.

Applications of Wi-Fi Technology:

Video Conference using Wi-Fi Technology . Browsing Internet using Wi-Fi Technology .

ADVANTAGES:
1. Wi-Fi technology available in hotels, airports, etc., will be more inclined to bring laptop with us when traveling for personal reasons. 2. Many reliable and bug-free Wi-Fi products on the market 3.It helps to become more productive at home, like online shopping and banking; 4. Wi-Fi technology allows getting out of home office and working in other rooms

BENEFITS OF Wi-Fi:
Freedom of Movement Many compatible devices

No wires
lower installation costs

FUTURE:
There will be a requirement for technologies such as WLAN in

this application. In the cellular terminal market feature set incorporating WLAN looks likely to be adopted in around 25% of terminals by 2009. IMS Research has predicted WLAN penetration into notebooks will be in excess of 90% by 2007.

CONCLUSION:
As Wi-Fi is now shipped in millions of products and deployed

in millions of homes, business and hotspots worldwide. The technology has moved beyond the realm of a computer feature. Wi-Fi has fast become a cultural phenomenon.
