    INTRODUCTION
    • Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology,
    which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless
    mode.

    • Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the


    IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local
    Area Networks (WLANs).

    • Wi-Fi Network connect computers to each other, to the


    internet and to the wired network.

    • Wi-Fi works on physical and data link layer.


    THE Wi-Fi TECHNOLOGY

     Wi-Fi Networks use Radio Technologies to transmit &


    receive data at high speed :

     IEEE 802.11b
     IEEE 802.11a
     IEEE 802.11g
     IEEE 802.11n
    IEEE 802.11b
     Appeared in late 1999
     Operates at 2.4GHz radio spectrum
     11 Mbps (theoretical speed) - within 30 m Range
     4-6 Mbps (actual speed)
     100 -150 feet range
     Most popular, Least Expensive
     Interference from mobile phones and Bluetooth devices which
    can reduce the transmission speed.

    5
    IEEE 802.11a
     Introduced in 2001
     Operates at 5 GHz (less popular)
     54 Mbps (theoretical speed)
     15-20 Mbps (Actual speed)
     50-75 feet range
     More expensive
     Not compatible with 802.11b

    6
    IEEE 802.11g
     Introduced in 2003
     Combine the feature of both standards (a,b)
     100-150 feet range
     54 Mbps Speed
     2.4 GHz radio frequencies
     Compatible with ‘b’

    7
    IEEE 802.11n
     Introduced in 2009
     Up To 300 feet range

     200 Mbps Speed

     2.4 & 5 GHz radio frequencies

    Elements of a Wi-Fi Network

     Access Point (AP) - The AP is a wireless LAN


    transceiver or “base station” that can connect one or
    many wireless devices in the same time to the Internet.

     Safeguards - Firewalls and anti-virus software protect


    networks from uninvited users and keep information
    secure.

     Wi-Fi cards (Adapters) - They accept the wireless


    signal and relay information. They can be internal and
    external. 10
    PCI and USB adapters

    How a Wi-Fi Network Works
     A Wi-Fi hotspot is created by installing an access point to
    an internet connection.
     An access point acts as a base station.
     When Wi-Fi enabled device encounters a hotspot the
    device can then connect to that network wirelessly.
     A single access point can support up to 30 users and can
    function within a range of 100 – 150 feet indoors and up
    to 300 feet outdoors.
     Many access points can be connected to each other via
    Ethernet cables to create a single large network.

    WI-FI APPLICATIONS
     Home
     Small Businesses
     Large Corporations & Campuses
     Health Care
     Wireless ISP (WISP)
     Travellers
     Wi-Fi Camera
    Advantages of Wi-Fi

     No Wires - A truly wireless networking solution.

     No Waiting - Fast, easy deployments.

     No Worries - A wireless networking system that is


    secure, easy to manage, and built to grow with you.
     Ease of Installation - Quick, easy setup.
     Security - Many Types Of
    Security(WEP,WPA,WPA2)
     Fast data transfer rates
    15
    Limitations of Wi-Fi
     Limited range

     Interference from other devices : such as


    telephones, microwave ovens.

     High power consumption :making battery life and


    heat a concern .
     Data security risks :a huge challenge for Wi-Fi
    networks
    16
    Basic Wi-Fi Security Techniques

     WEP(Wired Equivalent Privacy) : The original encryption


    technique specified by the IEEE 802.11 standard.

     WPA(Wi-Fi Protected Access ): A new standard that


    provides improved encryption security over WEP.

     WPA2 : is an improved version of WPA that uses


    Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technology.

    Conclusion
     Wi-Fi is a simple, cost-effective way to connect to the
    Internet, without the need to physically connecting wires.
     In 1997 IEEE drafted the 802.11 standard for wireless
    local area networking.
     Hotspot is a geographic area setup in any public
    location, and has a readily accessible wireless network.
     Security is a huge challenge for Wi-Fi Networks, many
    Security Techniques are used to improve it.
     Wi-Fi Networks have a several limitations that should be
    concerned.
