Wi-Fi is an abbreviation for Wireless Fidelity and is the popular term for a wireless LAN specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard. Wi-Fi technology operates in the 2.4 GHz range and connects at speeds up to 11 Mbps. Wi-Fi has become a popular option to wirelessly connect to the Internet in coffee shops, airports, and other public areas. Wi-Fi has also been adopted in many small offices and homes as a means to connect to the Internet without the need for a wire to tether the user to a telephone, cable or Ethernet outlet.
