Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that allows electronic devices to connect to the internet and communicate with one another wirelessly within a particular area. It uses radio waves to provide wireless internet access in homes, businesses, schools and other places. The term "Wi-Fi" was coined by a branding firm to suggest "Wireless Fidelity" in a similar way to "Hi-Fi" for high fidelity audio. Wi-Fi is now widely used in homes, offices, schools and public places like airports and cafes to provide wireless internet access.
