WIFI
Wi-Fi (or Wi-fi , WiFi , Wifi , wifi ), short for "Wireless Fidelity",
is a set of product compatibility standards for wireless local area networks (WLAN).
Wi-Fi was intended to be used for mobile devices and LANs, but is now often used for Internet and wireless VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone access.
It enables a person with a wireless-enabled computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or a wireless VoIP phone to connect to the Internet when in proximity of an access point.
The geographical region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance (formerly the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance), the trade organization that tests and certifies equipment compliance with the 802.11x standards.

How WIFI works?
Wi-Fi was intended to be used for mobile computing devices, such as laptops, in LANs,
but is now often used for increasingly more applications, including Internet access, gaming,
and basic connectivity of consumer electronics such as televisions and DVD players.
There are even more standards in development that will allow Wi-Fi to be used by cars in highways in support of an Intelligent Transportation System to increase safety, gather statistics, and enable mobile commerce
