The document discusses Wi-Fi and wireless networks. It defines Wi-Fi as a wireless network that allows devices to connect without cables. Wireless networks provide mobility and higher speeds than older standards like 802.11b. The document outlines benefits of wireless like easy installation, no cables to trouble, and ability to upgrade the network easily. It addresses common myths about wireless not being secure or harmful and provides a cost comparison showing wireless can be cheaper than wired for most situations.

2. What is Wi-Fi? • Wi-Fi or Wireless Fidelity • Wi-Fi allows you to connect to a network (through a wireless router or access point) which may or may not connect to the internet. • Mobility • Speed – A/G - 54 Mb (megabits) – B - 11 Mb (megabits) – N - 300 Mb (megabits) – WIRED - 100/1000 Mb (megabits) Why Wi-Fi? Wireless networks utilize radio waves to maintain communication channels between computers. Wireless networking is a more modern alternative to wired networking.

3. POINTS OF CONSIDERATION Present scenario amongst computer users shows an increase in number of laptops than desktops Laptops have brought in mobility Wires and cables get tangled Networking and maintenance is often outsourced Network should be scalable/upgradeable Workspace should be aesthetic High Performance Reliable Networks Wireless Internet Networks

4. PROBLEMS WITH WIRED NETWORKS Long process of cable/conduit laying Often I/O Sockets loose connectivity With number of computers/laptops increasing it requires additional cables/switches Cables are vulnerable and rats/lizards cause damage. Any such scenario affects the entire network and causes damage to office interiors Network troubleshooting and maintenance is time taking Network is not easily upgradeable Wireless Internet Networks High Performance Reliable Networks

5. ADVANTAGES WITH WIRELESS NETWORKS Long process of cable/conduit laying Quick and easy Installation. A whole campus can be made Wi-Fi in a day. Often I/O Sockets loose connectivity No need of I/O Sockets & Patch chords With number of computers/laptops increasing it requires additional cables/switches One Access Point can control up-to 25 computers and costing is equivalent to a switch with that many ports …… continued Wireless Internet Networks High Performance Reliable Networks

6. Cables are vulnerable and rats/lizards cause damage. Any such scenario affects the entire network and causes damage to office interiors Cabling can be totally eliminated with MESH networks. Interiors are hardly affected other than pivots/mounts for Access Points Network troubleshooting and maintenance is time taking Troubleshooting is easy and problems occur if Wi-Fi signal is not available or Wi-Fi device goes bad Network is not easily upgradeable Instant upgrades can be done as per need. No restrictions like number of I/O Outlets or Patch chords. A user with laptop can sit in any place in office/premises and work High Performance Reliable Networks Wireless Internet Networks

7. MYTHS ABOUT WIRELESS NETWORK Wireless network are too costly too deploy and have limited benefit over wired network Wireless networks are not secure and anyone can hack into data Wireless networks are complex to deploy and support Wireless radio frequency is harmful Independent expert groups around the world have stated that there is no risk to the general public from base stations. The World Health Organization, for example, stated: "None of the recent reviews have concluded that exposure to the radiofrequency fields from mobile phones or their base stations causes any adverse health consequence". An Expert Panel of the Royal Society of Canada said "it appears that exposure of the public to radiofrequency fields emitted from wireless telecommunication base station transmitters is of sufficiently low intensity that biological or adverse health effects are not anticipated".
