other devices to communicate over a wireless signal. Wi-Fi, is a local area wireless technology
 6. Father of Wi-Fi The “Father of Wi-Fi,” Vic Hayes is senior research fellow at Delft University of
Technology in Delft, Netherlands.
 7. How a Wi-Fi Networks Works A Wi-Fi hotspot is created by installing an internet connection. A
single access point can support up to 30 users. Many acess points can be connected to each other via
ethernet cables to create a single large networks. An access point acts as a base station.

peripherals Wireless LAN – Performance High, Mobile extension of wired networks Wireless MAN -
Performance High, Fixed wireless between homes and businesses and the Internet Wireless WAN -
Performance Low, Mobile access to the Internet from outdoor areas
 10. Hardware:
 11. Wi-Fi Technology Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies to transmit and receive data at high
speed IEEE 802.11 b IEEE 802.11 a IEEE 802.11 g
 12. IEEE 802.11 b Introduced in late 1999 4-6 Mbps (actual speed) Most Popular Least Expensive
100 – 150 feet range Operates at 2.4GHz radio spectrum Interference from mobile phones and
bluetooth devices which can reduce the transmission speed.
 13. IEEE 802.11 a Introduced in 2001 15 – 20 Mbps (Actual speed) 50 – 75 feet range More

1.3 Gigabits per second. That's fast enough to transfer an entire high-definition movie to a tablet in
under 4 minutes, share photo albums with friends in a matter of seconds or stream three HD videos at
the same time.
 16. 802.11ac We 're probably familiar with 802.11a/b/g/n, all of which are protocols for the 802.11
wireless networking standard. We can safely bet that any device with Wi-Fi connectivity, from your
laptop to your Smartphone, supports at least wireless B or G, and if it came out within the past few
 years, it should support wireless N. 802.11n (or the latest draft of it, 802.11n-2009) is the fastest of the
ones that are currently widely available. 802.11ac is a new Wi-Fi protocol and is intended to be the
natural successor to 802.11n. We may have heard it called "5G Wi-Fi" or "Gigabit Wi-Fi."
 17. Elements of a Wi-Fi networks Access point: The access point is a wireless LAN transceiver or “
base station” that can connect one or many wireless devices simultaneously to the internet. Wi-Fi
cards : They accept the wireless signal and relay information. It can be external and internal.
Safeguards: Firewalls and anti-virus software protect networks from uninvited users and keep
information secure.
 18. Roaming A wireless computer can "roam" from one access point to another, with the software
and hardware maintaining a steady network connection by monitoring the signal strength from in-
range access points and locking on to the one with the best quality. Usually this is completely
transparent to the user; they are not aware that a different access point is being used from area to area.
Some access point configurations require security authentication when swapping access points,
usually in the form of a password dialog box.
 19. If we have more than one hardware access point then how can we share a single Internet
connection? If an existing wired LAN already has an Internet connection, then the hardware access
points simply connect to your LAN and allow wireless computers to access the existing Internet
connection in the same way as wired LAN computers.
 20. Advantages of Wi-Fi Convenience Mobility Productivity Deployment Expandability Cost Speed
Security Flexibility reliability
 21. Limitations Interference High power consumption Range Degradation in performance
 22. Conclusion Wi-Fi is a universal wireless networking technology that utilizes radio frequencies to
transfer data. Wi-Fi allows for high speed Internet connections without the use of cables or wires.
Since nearly all new laptops come with internal wireless cards

Which is an example of wireless network?

Network example: your home Wi-Fi

Since the devices are connected to the router as clients, they are part of the network
and can use the same resource as the server, namely the Internet. The devices can
also communicate with each other without having to establish a direct connection to
each device.

hat are wireless network devices?

A wireless device has some sort of network connectivity. A cell phone is wireless, and a
laptop or PDA would be wireless if they had a wireless modem. Similarly, applications
are wireless when they connect and exchange data with a network.

What do you mean by WIFI network?

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as computers
(laptops and desktops), mobile devices (smart phones and wearables), and other
equipment (printers and video cameras) to interface with the Internet.

What is wired network and wireless network?

A wired network employs wires to link devices to the Internet or another network, such
as laptops or desktop PCs. (b) Wireless Network: “Wireless” means without wire, media
that is made up of electromagnetic waves (EM Waves) or infrared waves. Antennas or
sensors will be present on all wireless devices.

What is the most common wireless network?

What is a network and example?

A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources
(such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The
computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves,
satellites, or infrared light beams.

What are the three main types of wireless networks?

There are four types of wireless networks -- wireless local area networks, wireless
metropolitan area networks, wireless personal area networks and wireless wide area
networks -- each with its own function. Below we discuss the different types of wireless
networks and the various equipment and connections they require.

What are the principles of wireless network?

Wireless communication takes place over free space over RF (Radio Frequency),
where one device (transmitter) sends a signal to another device (receiver). Two devices
(transmitter and receiver) must use the same frequency (or channel) to communicate
with each other
What is the difference between Wi-Fi and wireless network?

1. WİRELESS NETWORK
2. What is wirelss network? • Wireless networks are computer networks that are
not connected by cables of any kind. The basis of wireless systems are radio
waves, an implementation that takes place at the physical level of network
structure. Wireless technologies are widely used in both home and business
computer networks.
3. Types of Wireless Network Technologies • WLANS: Wireless Local Area
Networks • WPANS: Wireless Personal Area Networks • WMANS: Wireless
Metropolitan Area Networks • WWANS: Wireless Wide Area Networks
4. WLANS: Wireless Local Area Networks • WLANS allow users in a local area, such
as a university campus or library, to form a network or gain access to the internet.
 A temporary network can be formed by a small number of users without the need
of an access point; given that they do not need access to network resources.
5. Wi-Fi: • Wi-Fi is the industry name for wireless local area network
(WLAN) communication technology related to the IEEE 802.11 family of wireless
networking standards. Wi-Fi technology first became popular with 802.11b,
introduced in 1999 and the first standard in that family to enjoy mainstream
adoption.
6. What is 802.11b • 802.11b is a Wi-Fi wireless network communication technology.
• 802.11bLANs support a theoretical maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. Although
comparable to traditional Ethernet (10 Mbps), its performs significantly slower
than newer Wi-Fi and Ethernet technologies including 802.11g and Fast Ethernet.
7. SOME FACTS ABOUT Wi-Fi • Wi-Fi Connections Do Not Require an Access Point •
Some Types of Wi-Fi Are Incompatible With Each Other • Wi-Fi Connection Speed
Varies With Distance • A Wi-Fi Network Can Span Many Miles (Kilometers), Or Just
a Few Yards Wi-Fi Is Not the Only Form of Wireless Networking
8. WPANS: Wireless Personal Area Networks • The two current technologies for
wireless personal area networks are Infra Red (IR) and Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15).
These will allow the connectivity of personal devices within an area of about 30
feet. However, IR requires a direct line of site and the range is less.
9. Bluetooth • Bluetooth is a specification (IEEE 802.15.1) for the use of low-power
radio communications to link phones, computers and other network devices over
short distances without wires. The name Bluetooth is borrowed from
HaroldBluetooth, a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago.
10. Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless
networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones,
PDAs, and wireless headsets. Wireless signals transmitted with Bluetooth cover
short distances, typically up to 30 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth devices generally
communicate at less than 1 Mbps.
11. WMANS: Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks • This technology allows the
connection of multiple networks in a metropolitan area such as different buildings
in a city, which can be an alternative or backup to laying copper or fiber cabling.
12. WWANS: Wireless Wide Area Networks • These types of networks can be
maintained over large areas, such as cities or countries, via multiple satellite
systems or antenna sites looked after by an ISP. These types of systems are
referred to as 2G (2nd Generation) systems.

information across a network. The computer should include a wireless adapter that will translate data
sent into a radio signal. This same signal will be transmitted, via an antenna, to a decoder known as
the router. Once decoded, the data will be sent to the Internet through a wired Ethernet connection. As
the wireless network will work as a two-way traffic, the data received from the Internet will also pass
through the router to be coded into a radio signal that will be receipted by the computer‘s wireless
adapter.
