Wireless LANs, more commonly known as Wi-Fi, use radio waves instead of cables to connect devices in a local area network (LAN). There are three common configurations: connecting an access point to a wired LAN, using a public access point provided by an Internet service provider, and setting up a home router for multiple devices to share a broadband Internet connection. The basic hardware includes an access point or wireless router connected to other devices via built-in radio modems. The Wi-Fi Alliance certifies products for compatibility and interoperability and has developed standards like Wi-Fi Direct for device-to-device connections and Passpoint for easier access to public wireless networks.

Wireless LAN • more commonly referred to by their trade name Wi-Fi.
• Local-area networks (LANs) - use CAT5
or CAT6 unshielded twisted pair as the transport medium Three common configurations • Access point extension to a wired LAN • Public access point via Internet service provider (ISP) • Home router for Internet access Access point extension to a wired LAN Access point extension to a wired LAN • Shows a wireless access point (AP) is connected to an existing wired LAN, usually through an Ethernet switch.
• This AP contains a transceiver that can
cover a specific geographic area, usually inside a building. Public access point via an Internet service provider (ISP) Public access point via an Internet service provider (ISP)
• AP is connected to the main LAN more
commonly to an Internet service provider (ISP) by way of a long-range interconnection such as a hardwired T1, fiber connection, or a microwave relay link such as WiMAX. Home router for Internet access Home router for Internet access • users of multiple PCs, tablets, and smart phones, there is a need to interconnect each device to a broadband Internet connection such as a DSL or cable TV line. • residential gateway or wireless router - A special box that connects to the cable TV or DSL and serves as the access point.
• Network Address Translation (NAT)
- This gateway or router uses a software approach Hardware of Wireless LANs Hardware devices in a wireless LAN
• access point or the
gateway/router
• radio modems in the PCs
• Gateway or Router is designed to attach to the DSL or cable TV modem with CAT5/6 cable. Radio Modems in the PC • The transceivers are usually a single chip in most of the newer systems. The Wi-Fi Alliance Wi-Fi Alliance • a trade association of companies developing and using the standard. • its key function is testing and certifying all chips and products. Wi-Fi Direct • is a modification of the basic standard to permit Wi-Fi-enabled devices to connect with one another without going through a traditional hot spot or router. HotSpot 2.0 • is the WFA’s answer to linking Wi-Fi access points (APs) and eventually cellular networks. Passpoint • is the certifying standard that provides an easier way to link up with a Wi-Fi network. HotSpot 2.0 and Passpoint select the best nearby AP and connect without user interaction. Miracast • is the WFA’s solution for displaying video between devices wirelessly without going through an access point. Wi-Fi Future Wi-Fi Future • machine-to-machine (M2M) field • Internet of Things (IoT) 802.11 • includes provision for encryption to protect the privacy of wireless users. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) • basic security protocol Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2 • Two stronger encryption standards 802.11i • provides the ultimate in protection. 802.11x • provides a secure method of authentication for wireless transactions.
