Wi-Fi Technology
What is Wi-Fi ?
WiFi is a wireless technology brand owned by the
Wi-Fi Alliance intended to improve the operating of
wireless products. Common applications for Wi-Fi include
Internet and VoIP phone access, gaming, and network
connectivity for consumer electronics such as mobile
phones, laptops, game consoles, MP3 players and PDA's.
Wi-Fi also allows connectivity which enables devices
to connect directly with each other. This connectivity
mode is useful in consumer electronics and gaming
applications.
It's faster and has a greater range than Bluetooth,
and is ideal for home or office connectivity. In the
near future, wireless networking may become so widespread
that you can access the Internet just about anywhere
at any time, without using wires. The easy access
of emails for business orientated individuals is also
a bonus, as urgent messages can be downloaded on the
go once the email settings are configured on to the
WiFi enabled handset.
