WiFi Training Bootcamp
WiFi is a mode of wireless technology which uses radio waves for its data transmission.
Although Wi-Fi is typically used to access the internet on portable devices like smartphones, tablets, or laptops, in actuality, WiFi itself is used to connect to a router or other access point, which in turn provides internet access.
The real importance of WiFi and especially personal mobile WiFi comes from the user’s ability to be a creator and a conduit of information at all times. In today’s world, it is more important than ever to be informed and come to our own conclusions using as many sources as possible.
WiFi is a powerful tool that makes it easier for people to work without being tethered to a specific desk within a particular location, therefore enhancing their ability to be productive and helping the company succeed.
WiFi is flexible with many user cases.
An open wireless network permits association and authentication without requiring a password, certificate, or credentials. Open networks are often called hot spots and provide free internet access to anyone within range. Many coffee shops and restaurants will deploy these to attract customers. They may still incorporate a captive portal.
Compared to the older Ethernet connections, WiFi paved the way for a new dimension in internet access. For one thing, WiFi is easy to install and use. Most companies place wireless LAN cards in their desktops before selling to their customers.
Compared to a Wired network connection, Wireless networks offer significant advantages in terms of cost and labor.
Once an organization decides to take advantage of WiFi technology, considerable thought should go into the WiFi setup.
A WiFi network begins with planning. This means locating the access points as well as the conditions and constructive elements of the area where the wireless infrastructure is going to be deployed are approached.
In an ideal scenario the location and materials would not affect WiFi coverage, but this is seldom the case.
It’s crucial when making a WiFi installation to determine the location of the access points as well as how many are necessary to cover with guarantees the entire area with a level of coverage and efficiency that ensures the success of the deployment of wireless infrastructure.
