To

connect to a Wi-Fi LAN, a computer has to be equipped with a wireless network interface controller. The combination of computer and interface controller is called a station. All stations share a single radio frequency communication channel. Transmissions on this channel are received by all stations within range. 6/16/12 The hardware does not signal the

Wi-Fi-enabled device, such as a personal computer, video game console, smartphone or digital audio player, can connect to the Internet when within range of a wireless network connected to the Internet. The coverage of one or more (interconnected) access points called hotspotscomprises an area as small as a few rooms or as large 6/16/12 as many square miles. Coverage in

the early 2000s, many cities around the world announced plans to construct city-wide Wi-Fi networks. Doing so proved to be more difficult than envisioned, and as a result most of these projects were either cancelled or placed on indefinite hold. A few were successful. 2010 Mysore became6/16/12 India's first

advantages
Wi-Fi

allows cheaper deployment of local area networks (LANs). Also spaces where cables cannot be run, such as outdoor areas and historical buildings, can host wireless LANs.

o

Spectrum assignments and operational limitations are not consistent worldwide: most of Europe allows for an additional two channels beyond those permitted in the U.S. for the 2.4GHz band (113 vs. 1 11), while Japan has one more on top of that (114). Europe, as of 2007 was essentially homogeneous in this respect.
