  4. Wi-Fi
    wireless fidelity. Implying tested interoperability of a IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN device by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA), the Wi-Fi Alliance. The term is also used more widely to imply any public WLAN service. Wi-Fi offers higher data rates than 3G systems which have paid heavily for their spectrum allocation. It uses unlicensed spectrum. Wi-Fi is a potential threat to the economic viability of 3G although it is unlikely ever to achieve the same coverage (cdma2000 EV-DO is even being used to backhaul Wi-Fi for services in US train and limo services) . Wi-Fi has already become a free public utility in at least one US city and paid-for Wi-Fi services may themselves be threatened by this and the more anarchic anonymous access to wireless LANs, sometimes with the LAN owner's permission but often without (see war chalking). Wi-Fi phones are now starting to appear and could prove a serious rival to conventional mobile network services as Wi-Fi coverage proliferates. Wi-Fi and Hiperlan, a convergent ETSI standard, are sometimes called 4G systems but this designation is debatable.

    Wi-Fi technology uses radio waves to create a wireless network for computers, PDAs and other devices so you can stream data or access the Internet without the need for wires. Offering a more convenient mobile solution, it`s ideal for connecting to business networks or the Internet while travelling. Wi-Fi networks can either use IEEE 802.1b standard which has a data rate of up to 1Mbps, or the latest IEEE 802.1g technology which has a data rate of 54Mbps – offering a bandwidth that`s up to 5 times faster than the original IEEE 802.1b. A Wi-Fi certified product means it`s compatible with other Wi-Fi devices.

This day in history:
