Advantages of Wi-Fi There is much advantage for Wi-Fi.

The main advantages of using Wi-Fi technology is the lack of wires. This is a wireless connection that can merge together multiple devices. Wi-Fi network is particularly useful in cases where the wiring is not possible or even unacceptable. For example, it is often used in the halls of conferences and international exhibitions. It is ideal for buildings that are considered architectural monuments of history, as it excludes the wiring cables. Wi-Fi networks are widely used to connect a variety of devices, not only between themselves but also to the internet. And almost all modern laptops, tablets, and some mobile phones have this feature. It is very convenient and allows us to connect to the internet almost anywhere, not just where the cables are laid. Today, we can access the network, for example, being in the park for a walk across the street or in an airport lounge. The main thing that was available near the point of Wi-Fi. Another advantage can be pretty easy to create a mesh Wi-Fi. To connect a new device to our network, simply turn on the Wi-Fi and do the simple setting in the software. In the case of wire technologies still need to pull the wire. Therefore, many modern offices are switching to this technology. Standardization of Wi-Fi technology allows us to connect to the network in any country, although there are still little features of its application. All equipment with technology Wi-Fi certified and allows us to achieve high compatibility. Next is convenience. The wireless nature of such networks allows users to access network resources from nearly any convenient location within their primary networking environment (a home or office). With the increasing saturation of laptop-style computers, this is particularly relevant. Then is mobility. With the emergence of public wireless networks, users can access the internet even outside their normal work environment. Most chain coffee shops, for example, offer their customers a wireless connection to the internet at little or no cost.

After that is deployment. Initial setup of an infrastructure-based wireless network requires little more than a single access point. Wired networks, on the other hand, have the additional cost and complexity of actual physical cables being run to numerous locations (which can even be impossible for hard-to-reach locations within a building). One of the most obvious advantages of Wi-Fi is the flexibility that it offers. A business office with a Wi-Fi network does not have to worry about where to find a network jack and cable. Everyone can just meet in a conference room, connect to the wireless network and get productive. At home, family members can relax on the sofa or go to their rooms and still get to the Internet, bringing a level of harmony or at least the absence of conflict. Next is low cost of implementation. Wireless networks, of course, do not require network wiring. The wiring infrastructure for an office accounts for a considerable portion of the total costs of network implementation. When there are no wires that cost goes away. For the same reason, it is also easier and less expensive to grow a wireless network. Lastly is efficiency. Ad hoc networking, a function of wireless networking, allows the construction and deconstruction of a network within a few minutes. This ability to quickly connect allows for collaboration, which would be difficult to achieve without Wi-Fi technology. Students were working on projects, engineers constructing buildings or health professionals saving lives all can connect and collaborate quickly and efficiently using Wi-Fi technology.

Disadvantages Wi-Fi Call quality is greatly influenced by the environment, is particularly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation generated by household appliances. This primarily affects the speed of data transmission. Despite the global standardization, many devices from different manufacturers are not fully compatible, which in turn affects the speed of communication. Second is interference. Wi-Fi operates in the 2.4GHz frequency, along with cordless phones, microwaves and even baby monitors. Many times these devices interfere with the

wireless signal and cause problems with the network. The actual damage may be noticed immediately with degraded network performance, or much later when you discover that a file has been corrupted. At high density Wi-Fi-points operating in the same or adjacent channels, they can interfere with each other. This affects the quality of the connection. This problem is common in apartment buildings, where many residents are using this technology. Third is range. The typical range of a common 802.11g network with standard equipment is on the order of tens of meters. While sufficient for a typical home, it will be insufficient in a larger structure. To obtain additional range, repeaters or additional access points will have to be purchased. Costs for these items can add up quickly. Wi-Fi has a limited radius of action and it is suitable for home networking, which is more dependent on the environment. For example, a typical home router with Wi-Fi in the room has a range of up to 45 meters and up to 450 meters outside. Wi-Fi networks have limited range, especially in buildings. In an office building or home the signal has a range of about a hundred and fifty feet. Outside, where there are no walls, the signal may travel as far as several hundred feet. You must place the wireless access point in a location that is central so that all computers can attach to the network. Fourth is reliability. Like any radio frequency transmission, wireless networking signals are subject to a wide variety of interference, as well as complex propagation effects that are beyond the control of the network administrator. Fifth is speed. The speed on most wireless networks (typically 1-54 Mbps) is far slower than even the slowest common wired networks (100Mbps up to several Gbps). However, in specialized environments, the throughput of a wired network might be necessary. Last but not least weak is security. One big disadvantage of Wi-Fi involves security. By definition, free Wi-Fi hotspots are not secured. These open networks attract hackers who are broadcasting their own network id, very similar to that of the particular establishment. Many times customers connect to the hacker's network ID and become victims of identity theft. Wireless network can be secured for homes and offices, but it does take some work and some expertise, but you should never conduct confidential business on a free Wi-Fi network.

Really Wi-Fi technology is not perfect and has many flaws that limit its use. However, the benefit of it is much greater. Therefore, every day, this modern technology is increasingly used and becomes a popular.

CONCLUSION Wi-Fi technology is the non-cable connection between the access point or router and the PC. The PC remotely connects to the internet without any wires or cables. In some cases, Wi-Fi tech. requires us to have the WEP or WPA key to access. WEP/WPA is like the password to secure our wireless router or access point. In this modern age, Wi-Fi provides many benefits and advantages to human. With the Wi-Fi, it makes people become easier to do their works by using the internet. Nowadays, many companies or shops selling Wi-Fi systems like this. So it is easier for us to get this system. With this it also will enhance existing friendships between our distant friends. Then, it will facilitate the work of using the internet to contact a particular person. Mobile technology, mobile Internet access, and m-commerce are growing rapidly on the global stage. However, growth rates vary widely across economic regions. The penetration rate of mobile phones, the optimum combination of different generations of telecommunications, and the combination of different technical formats vary according to a wide array of economic, sociocultural, and policy-related factors. The ways in which companies integrate m-commerce applications into their business models depend upon numerous environmental factors, particularly the combination of communications technologies previously adopted and the mobile technologies currently diffusing in their domestic economies. Given the scope for technological leapfrogging and alternative national mixes of fixed lines and wireless infrastructures, global heterogeneity in national patterns of m-commerce development and hence, of business models in m-commerce appears to be a likely prospect for the foreseeable near future.

An interesting consequence of this global heterogeneity is the tenuousness of the distinction between "leading" and "lagging" countries. Nations that "lag" in fixed-line telephony or Internet use stand to benefit proportionately more from mobile technologies and may, in some cases, be better positioned to innovate their use; though it is always dangerous to speculate, there is some indication that industrialized East Asian countries may fall into this category. Yet not all nations that rank as "leaders" in m-commerce necessarily have cause to celebrate; many European countries, for example, are concerned that their carriers exhausted their financial resources in the development of 3G and may be unable to follow through in infrastructural development of mobile technologies. By the same token, the U.S. "lag" in m-commerce may not prove to be a long-term handicap; in fact, the U.S. lag in 3G may accelerate the exploration of technological alternatives like Wi-Fi or UWB..
