AIM OF THE WI-FI

INTRODUCTION

Wireless Technology is an alternative to Wired Technology ,

which is commonly used, for connecting devices in wireless
mode.

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the

IEEE 802.11 communications standard for Wireless Local
Area Networks (WLANs).

Wi-Fi Network connect computers to each other, to the

internet and to the wired network.

Active-HDL (ALDEC):

Active-HDL is an integrated environment EDA

tool designed for development of VHDL,
Verilog, EDIF, state, block diagram, Simulation
(wave form) models and design of
Synthesizable IP-Cores.

Components required for Wi-Fi

A PC, laptop , running Windows 98 or above.
A wireless PCMCIA card, or a wireless
adapter. Now a days all the latest LAPTOPS
are coming with in built CENTRINO
A Network Interface Card (optional) - Only if a
LAN connection is required
An Access Point - essentially a compact radio
transmitter with an antenna that connects to a
wired connection, such as an Ethernet, DSL,
or Cable Network.

A valid internet connection.

Wi-Fi CONFIGARATION

How a Wi-Fi Network Works

Basic concept is same as Walkie talkies.

A Wi-Fi hotspot is created by installing an access
point to an internet connection.
An access point acts as a base station.
When Wi-Fi enabled device encounters a hotspot
the device can then connect to that network
wirelessly.
A single access point can support up to 30 users
and can function within a range of 100 150 feet
indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors.

Wi-Fi APPLICATION

Home
Small Businesses or SOHO
Large Corporations & Campuses
Health Care
Wireless ISP (WISP)
Travellers

DISADVANTAGES

Many 2.4 GHz 802.11b and 802.11g Access points

default to the same channel on initial startup,
contributing to congestion on certain channels.
Wi-Fi networks have limited range.
A typical Wi-Fi home router using 802.11b or
802.11g with a stock antenna might have a range
of 45 m (150 ft) indoors and 90 m (300 ft)
outdoors.

LIMITATION

Interference
Degradation in performance
High power consumption
Limited range

CONCLUSION
For now Wi-Fi provides broad band internet access to

specially outfitted PCs and Laptops. But in future may

be hotspots be wireless.
By Wi-Fi our time and money are saved.
The technologies have help Wi-Fi Hotspots are
becoming more popular throught urban environment.
