What is WiFi (wireless fidelilty)?  A local computer network for communication between computers; especially a network connecting computers and word processors and other electronic office equipment to create a communication system between offices.

Short for "Wireless Fidelity." (Yes, it is pretty much a rip-off of the term "Hi-Fi," or High Fidelity, which refers to high-quality audio or surround sound.) Wi-Fi refers to wireless network components that are based on one of the Wi-Fi Alliance's 802.11 standards.

The Wi-Fi Alliance created the 802.11 standard so that manufacturers can make wireless products that work with other manufacturers' equipment. So, if you have a "Wi-Fi Certified" wireless network card, it should be recognized by any "Wi-Fi Certified" access point, and vice-versa. Why there is a Wi-Fi Alliance and why they named the wireless standard 802.11, I am not sure.  But with the WifiAccessZone.com you can certainly get in the zone!

What is WiFi? It is short for wireless fidelity and is meant to be used generically when referring to any type of 802.11 network promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc.

Remember rotary dial phones? We evolved to touch tone phone and then the first cordless phones. WiFi is the same type of wireless technology as the cordless phone in your house, but built for your computer or other personal digital assistant (PDA). WiFi is NOT cellular technology. Your cell phone operates on different, licensed, frequencies. The FCC made available unlicensed frequencies allowing for technology folks to start using a larger spectrum of the airwaves. We now have 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz cordless phones in our home because of it. Computer manufactures are now using this unlicensed space for connecting you to the Internet and other technological resources. In short, WiFi will connect your laptop to the Internet without any wires.

What is WiFi? It is Wireless Networking and yes it is contagious. WiFiAccessZone is now deploying this technology into the public spaces.

Still lost? How would you like to sit out on your deck, enjoying the weather while at the same time checking your email, stocks or chatting with friends online? For most of us this would require running our phone line, or network line, onto the deck. Then the dog runs through tripping over the wire, knocking the laptop to the ground and spilling piping hot coffee all over you.

Not with WiFi. Today a box the size of an answering machine and costing no more than a typical teenager's long distance bill can distribute your Internet connection signal to an area the size of a football field. A card not much larger than the credit card your teenager borrows receives this signal and, presto, you now are surfing with no wires. Now you can sit out on the deck with your laptop and pay the credit card bill on-line, without worry of the dog forcing you to change shorts.

This is not new technology; it has been around for several years. It is viewed by most as a grass-roots technology; adopted by the more technologically savvy and those who love geeky toys. Well, the grass roots have gotten some mainstream attention. AT&T, T-Mobile and IBM have spent millions of dollars and have committed millions more for this technology. Intel is now marketing a new processor, Centrino, which is WiFi enabled. Dell, Gateway, Fujitsu, HP, IBM (and so forth) are all embedding this new processor into their products. The next laptop or PDA your teenager buys with the credit card they borrowed will probably have WiFi built in.
 

The WifiAccess Zone supports the Global Waypoint Registry (GWR) and thanks the GWR for their assistance in marking Wifi Locations with Authenticated GPS Waypoints.
