Wi-Fi (shorthand for "wireless fidelity")
Is the common term for a high-frequency wireless local-area network (WLAN). The term used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc. Wi-Fi operates in the 2.4 GHz range offering data speeds up to 11 megabits per second. Wi-Fi is gaining acceptance as an alternative to a wired LAN in companies and multicomputer homes. Unless protected, a Wi-Fi wireless LAN can be susceptible to access from the outside by unauthorized user seeking to access the Internet for free. Locating and exploiting security-exposed WLANs is called war driving. Warchalking is the term for the markings used to indicate where an exposed WLAN is accessible. Companies can safeguard these networks using the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption standard, a virtual private network and other options.
