This document discusses Wi-Fi technology and its components. Wi-Fi allows wireless connectivity between devices using radio waves instead of wires. It uses IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Key components of a Wi-Fi network include an access point connected to a wired internet connection, Wi-Fi cards or adapters in devices, and Wi-Fi configuration. Wi-Fi provides mobility, ease of installation, and flexibility but has limitations such as range and potential interference.

4. 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.

Active-HDL (ALDEC):
 Active-HDL is an integrated environment EDA
tool designed for development of VHDL,
Verilog, EDIF, state, block diagram, Simulation
(wave form) models and design of
Synthesizable IP-Cores.

10. Components required for Wi-Fi
 A PC, laptop , running Windows 98 or above.
 A wireless PCMCIA card, or a wireless
adapter. Now a days all the latest LAPTOPS
are coming with in built CENTRINO
 A Network Interface Card (optional) - Only if a
LAN connection is required
 An Access Point - essentially a compact radio
transmitter with an antenna that connects to a
wired connection, such as an Ethernet, DSL,
or Cable Network.
 A valid internet connection.

11. Wi-Fi CONFIGARATION

12. How a Wi-Fi Network Works
 Basic concept is same as Walkie talkies.
 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.

13. Wi-Fi APPLICATION
 Home
 Small Businesses or SOHO
 Large Corporations & Campuses
 Health Care
 Wireless ISP (WISP)
 Travellers

14. ADVANTAGES
 Mobility
 Ease of Installation
 Flexibility
 Cost
 Reliability
 Security
 Speed

15. DISADVANTAGES
 Many 2.4 GHz 802.11b and 802.11g Access
points default to the same channel on initial
startup, contributing to congestion on certain
channels.
 Wi-Fi networks have limited range.
 A typical Wi-Fi home router using 802.11b or
802.11g with a stock antenna might have a range
of 45 m (150 ft) indoors and 90 m (300 ft)
outdoors.

16. LIMITATION
 Interference
 Degradation in performance
 High power consumption
 Limited range

17. CONCLUSION
 For now Wi-Fi provides broad band internet access to
specially outfitted PCs and Laptops. But in future may
be hotspots be wireless.
 By Wi-Fi our time and money are saved.
 The technologies have help Wi-Fi “Hotspots are
becoming more popular throught urban environment.”
