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.
4. Purpose
The purpose of Wi-Fi is to hide complexity by enabling
wireless access to applications and data, media and
streams.
The main aims of Wi-Fi are:
make access to information easier
ensure compatibility and co-existence of devices
eliminate complex cabling
eliminate switches, adapters, plugs, pins and

What Makes them
Dangerous ?
1.Wireless routers – as well as Bluetooth and
similar wireless systems – give off
electromagnetic radiation in the low-
gigahertz frequency. This level is considered
potentially dangerous to people.
2.The wireless signals can pass through walls.
3.. Most routers are not turned off at night, so
you are exposed 24/7.

If you're not ready to completely get rid of wireless stuff, you can at least reduce
your family's radiation by:
• Tell your family to try to not use their cell phone: Put your cell phone in Airplane
Mode, or turn it off, then just turn it on to check messages or make a quick call, then turn i
back off. Keep it for emergencies. As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation
continually (to you and everyone within 10 feet of you), even when you are not actually
making a call.
• Children Should NEVER Use Cell Phones:
• Use a corded phone at home and at work
• Reduce or stop using other wireless devices
• Keep laptops away from the body and don’t use a laptop while it rests on the lap.
• Use your cell phone only where reception is good
• Keep your cell phone away from your body when it’s on
• Use safer headset technology
