Wifi is referred to as wireless technology, the majority of the devices around us are controlled with the help of WIFI. The mobile phone and computers are connected to WIFI VIA NICs (network interface cards).
Primarily modern devices are based on wireless tech because wire can be a bit cumbersome and in complex situations can result in BAD CABLE MANAGEMENT.
Wifi is clearly defined in IEEE STANDARDS. WIFI TECH utilizes WAP ( wireless access points) and Wifi-enabled devices. The WAP helps all the wifi-enabled devices to connect with WIFI NETWORKS.
WAP is a router with a gateway IP that is responsible for enabling networking and communication capabilities for all the devices that are connected with the AP (access point).
Wireless router (WLAN) is responsible for WAP which provides networking capabilities to the devices connected to it.
The most popular wifi deployment models are Centralized deployment |
Distributed deployment | Cloud-Based deployment.
Wireless router has WAP capabilities which can be accessed in the following hardware formats:
- WIFI ROUTERS ( ETHERNET / OPTICAL FIBER)
- MOBILE HOTSPOT (4G – 5G)
- DESKTOP HOTSPOT ( INTERNET / OPTICAL FIBER)
- Sim Dongle (G – 5G)
- Satellite internet (star-link)
WAP: Wireless access point needs to be safe and secure. WPA needs to have password-based access and data encryption enabled. Wireless technology is less secure than Wired technology.
Wifi full form is wireless-fidelity. The end-user has to fill in a few formalities to get access to WAP issued by the ISPs (There can be many sub-vendors and resellers of wireless services).
Wifi leverages radio waves to transmit data over wireless networks. Wifi is operated in 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz spectrum, the latest wifi technology version 6 can support 9.6 Gigabits per second (Gbps).
