Chapter I Introduction WI-FI is a branded standard for wirelessly connecting electronic devices. A WI-FI device, such as a personal computer, video game console, Smartphone, or digital audio player can connect to the internet via a wireless network access point. An access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (65 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors. Multiple overlapping access points can cover large areas. WI-FI is a trademark of the WI-FI alliance and the brand name for products using the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. WI-FI is used by over 700 million people, there are over 4 million hotspot (places with WI-FI Internet connectivity) around the world, and about 800 million new WI-FI devices every year. WI-FI products that complete the WI-FI alliance interoperability certification testing successfully can use the WI-FI CERTIFIED designation and trademark. Carnegie Mellon University built the first wireless Internet network using similar technology at their Pittsburgh campus in 1994, before WI-FI branding originated. Many traditional college campuses provide at least partial wireless WI-FI Internet coverage.
