Topic: Wi-Fi technology and its application in Business organizations
Objective
To understand the Wi-Fi technology and its applications in Indian business organisations
Introduction
In today’s high-tech world connectivity to networks is extremely important for organizations to survive. Networking is possible of various machines like computers, laptops, cell phones etc. This term paper talks of Wi-Fi, the wireless technology that allows internet connection to be broadcasted through radio waves. Its purpose serves directly to the users looking for internet access devoid of any cords or wires.
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is a wireless technology brand that is owned by Wi-Fi Alliance
Wi-Fi Alliance is a consortium of

Here is a chart that represents the main differences of each standard.
Standard 802.11b 802.11a 802.11g
Speed 11 Mbps 54 Mbps 54Mbps
Range 100-150 feet indoors 27-75 feet indoors 100-150 feet indoors
Frequency 2.4GHz, a band already crowded with cordless phones 5GHz, an uncrowded band 2.4GHz, still a crowd of cordless phones and microwaves
Acceptance Hot spots are already established using 802.11b. Equipment is readily available More common in corporate and office environments. 802.11g is compatible with the specs for 802.11b, meaning it can be used on a network based on b or g versions.
Wi-Fi in Indian enterprises:
In business environments, increasing the number of Wi-Fi access points, by using more channels or creating smaller cells provides:
support for fast roaming
increased overall network capacity
Wi-Fi enables wireless voice applications (VoWLAN or WVOIP).
LAN user segments like educational institutes and the hospitality industry openly embraced Wi-Fi. Other enterprises have been slower but many have found innovative ways to use Wi-Fi in their networks
These include:
LG Electronics India Ltd., runs business-critical applications like an internal ERP system and Lotus Notes, and provides Internet access to its plant and executive employees through its Wi-Fi infrastructure. The 802.11b solution was deployed in its 47 acre campus in Noida. Other than saving time and
Wireless network infrastructure has become just another connection method for corporate and home users alike. This rapid acceptance can be attributed from:
Wireless Routers is a wireless local area network (WLAN) that determine the next route of the packet should travel to the destination (Rouse, 2005). It converts the internet connection that was received from phone lines into radio signals and brings convenience to the portability devices that has built-in network card to gain the radio signals to get to the Internet connection (Switcher, 2015). Table 2 refers to the comparison of three models of wireless router.
This is a direct extension of the 802.11b that extends the maximum data rate to 54Mbps, making it possible to serve up to five times as many users. Our Wi-Fi network is based on the IEEE 802.11 b/g standards, which is the most commonly used standard. We have added Wi-Fi access points in our network to give easier access to corporate data and services. Most of the devices in this network, for example the personal computers, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets and digital audio players connected using the Wi-Fi technology. The hotspot will be in the range of 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outside.
4. Use the Internet to research one to two applications of the identified wireless technology. List each application found. Reference the websites you used to locate this information.
It was designed to replace 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. It has the fastest transfer rate of (600Mbps) and the longest signal range compared to its predecessors. It operates in both 2.4GHz and 5GHz range.
To solve these problems a company can implement Wi-Fi on their network. This can reduce the price of implementing additional cable in the network.
You are sacrificing a more spread out coverage area for the ability to shoot a narrow RF beam over a greater difference, lending more stability and higher possible speeds to your WLAN. Week2: Relationship Characteristics Checkpoint
Municipal Wi-Fi or Municipal wireless network is a step towards making Internet services available to everyone by wireless technology. A geographical area under a municipality is provided with a wireless broadband service in many cities in US. Currently this idea is getting spread around the world. The structure of the wireless network is a mesh network with more than hundreds of routers are installed on the outdoors of the buildings. The network is operated by a wireless ISP. In this report we will discuss about implementation of municipal WiFi in different countries and the status of those implementation.
Known to many as Wi-Fi, its actual name is “Wireless Fidelity.” Wi-Fi is considered to be what correlates to wireless networking technology of which allows computers amongst other devices to communicate over a wireless signal. The designation 802.11
In 1991 wifi was invented, and as the years go on wifi has been developing and changing in the most incredible ways. Wifi has also changed on how we communicate with people, and how we shop for items. As changes come, trouble also comes with it. In recent years, parents have been blaming wifi for the recent problems their children have been facing. The research and studies that have been conducted shows that an increase in wifi access and coverage does not pose a danger to students in
Wi-Fi is progressively turning into the favoured method of web association everywhere throughout the world. To get to this kind of association, one must have a remote connector on their PC. Wi-Fi gives remote integration by radiating frequencies between 2.4GHz to 5GHz in view of the measure of information on the system.
This report fulfills the specific requirement for documentation as specified in FIT 5083 Assignment 1. In this technical report, we will identify the various steps and techniques used in deployment of wireless network. Initially, what is networking or network infrastructure? Networking mean to connect two or more devices and configure them in such a way that they can communicate with each other. In networking, network infrastructure means to connect the software and hardware part rather than actual connection between two devices. Now days, wireless network connections are highly on demand because it’s easy to access and it does not require any cabling structure.
A wireless network is any type of computer network that uses wireless data connections for connecting network nodes .Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business).Installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure.
Business is much different today than it has ever been. The strategies incorporated in the success of a business can be quite complicated and requires more than just a man or woman with a dream. Success in business is now reliant on the connectivity of their business to their local area, as well as, the global market place. Wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) in the corporate environment is making this possible and beyond possible as it improves. In this paper we will see some pro’s and con’s of wireless connectivity in the corporate environment.
WiMAX technology has been approved by Bangladesh Government in last quater of 2008 in Bangladesh. Use of this technology has been increased through the passage of time. WiMAX combines the performance of Wi-Fi with the range and quality of service (QOS) of a carrier-grade cellular technology. WiMAX networks can be as small as single base stations with a few subscriber units, to much larger networks with thousands of users. 4G WiMAX gives us incredibly fast wireless access to the internet from four to ten times faster than 3G wireless. WiMAX technology will allow the subscribers to enjoy the amazing experience of high speed internet along with data, voice and video.There are few WiMAX service provider in Bangladesh, among them
