About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") is a term used for certain
types of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). Wi-Fi
communication requires access to an existing and accessible
Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be Open
(unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring
knowledge of the Router name and password).
Wi-Fi is used to:
• Access the internet for browsing, or to send and receive mail.
• Access you corporate network.
• Use hotspots provided by hotels, airports, or restaurants while
traveling.
