Introduction

Wi-Fi is also known as Wireless Fidelity.

Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a generic term for the wireless network in the communication norm. Wi-Fi operates like
a local area network without the use of a wire or cables.

WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network. IEEE 802.11 is the rule for communication. Wi-Fi
uses the Physical Data Link Layer (PDLL) to operate.

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that permits to connect wirelessly to a network or to other computer or
mobile device. A circular radio frequency range is used to transmit data in Wi-Fi.

Currently, these frequencies function on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bandwidths.

All devices have a default bandwidth of 2.4 GHz.

USAGE
We use Wi-Fi every day. Without WIFI Network we cannot connect to the internet from any Wi-
Fi-capable device. Wi-Fi allows us to have wireless communication, including streaming or casting
audio or video to any device.

Data transfer rates are also very fast when using Wi-Fi to share files, data, etc., among two or
more computer , mobile phone or any other devices.

Another important attribute is the capability to print any document using a Wi-Fi printer.

Wi-Fi can be access by HOTSPOT, A mobile hotspot is a common feature on smartphones with
both tethered and untethered connections. When you turn on your phone’s mobile hotspot, you share
your wireless network connection with other devices that can then access the Internet.

USAGE
Using a wireless network to provide Internet service offers convenience and flexibility,
assuming your wireless router transmits a strong signal. Unfortunately, a weak signal can
lead to unreliable network performance and a frustrating user experience. One way to
boost a weak router signal and improve network performance is through the use of a
small device called a repeater.
Repeater functions as a kind of relay system for your wireless Internet network. The
repeater picks up the signal transmitted by your router and amplifies it while sending it
throughout your home or office. You'll also be able to get reception in areas where the
signal previously could not reach. If you use a laptop, you'll be able to work farther away
from the location of your router, providing greater flexibility.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for transferring files to and from
remote machines running FTP servers. The FTP client allows file and directory upload,
file and directory download, and directory navigation of remote and local file systems.
sftp client
The sftp client uses the SSH (Secure Shell) File Transfer Protocol to provide secure file
transfer over a non-secure network (such as a TCP/IP network).
For sftp Host On-Demand supports only the binary transfer mode. Host On-Demand does
not support the character transfer mode.

History of Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is an old concept, but its execution is a new concept. ALOHA System is a wireless network
mechanism that was used to link Hawaii island through a network in 1971.

1985 saw the release of a new network for broad use by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), which operates on frequencies between 900 Mhz and 5.8 GHz.

When waveLAN, a wireless cashier system, was invented in 1988, it operated at speeds of 1 to 2
megabits per second on the Token Ring Local Area Network.

This was followed by Vic Hayes (known as the "Father of WiFi") establishing IEEE 802.11 Working
Group for Wireless LANs in 1990.

This wireless network was later renamed IEEE 802.11a by the Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in 1996

Working of Wi-Fi

What is the Wi-Fi protocol?

First and foremost, Wi-Fi is a wireless communication system that transmits networks using
electromagnetic waves. The radiofrequency is utilized in Wi-Fi because we understand that there are
several types of electromagnetic waves based on their frequency, including X-rays, Gamma-rays, radio
waves, microwaves, etc.
• Base station network or Ethernet(802.3) connection: It is the primary host network from which
the router receives its network connection.
• Access Point or Router - Network bridge, also known as an access point or router, connects wired
and wireless networks. A wired Ethernet connection is accepted, and the wired connection is
converted to a wireless connection, which is then spread via radio waves.
• Accessing Device - There are several ways to gain access to information. From our mobile,
computer, etc., we access Wi-Fi and surf the web using Wi-Fi
WI-FI Technology 12

APPLICATION OF WI-FI
Point-to-Point network using Wi-Fi or WLAN technology. Two sites that are hard to reach by wire, such as two
corporate office buildings, can be connected using this method.

Vow-Fi is also recognized as voice-over Wi-Fi, which is another useful tool. Few years ago, telecom firms put
forward the VoLTE (Voice over LTE) (Voice over Long-Term Evolution ). In recent years, Vow-Fi has become
increasingly popular, allowing us to make calls and anyone using our home Wi-Fi network.

Internet via Wi-Fi in offices: In offices, all computer systems are linked to the Internet via Wi-Fi. In the case of Wi-
Fi, there is no need for complicated wiring. Also, the network's speed is excellent. It's possible to present an entire Wi-
Fi project, such as a spreadsheet or ppt, to all participants at once..

As a positioning system, Wi-Fi can be used to recognize a device's area by detecting the placements of Wi-Fi
hotspots.
