Wi-Fi technology refers to a set of wireless networking protocols that enable devices to communicate over a wireless local area network (WLAN). This technology is based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which are a series of specifications developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to ensure interoperability and compatibility among wireless networking devices. Wi-Fi allows devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other smart gadgets to connect to the internet and communicate with each other without the need for physical cables. It operates over radio frequencies, typically in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing flexibility and convenience for users to access network resources and the internet from various locations within the coverage area of a Wi-Fi network. The technology has evolved over the years, with newer standards offering faster speeds, improved security, and greater reliability, making it an essential component of modern digital communication.
