Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) refers to a wireless networking technology that is used for connecting multiple electronic devices, including laptops, desktops, smartphones, and wearables, with the internet. It operates by sending radio signals from the wireless router to nearby gadgets, which translates the signal into data. These waves are further decoded and transmitted back to the router that assists in connecting the internet by wire and cable. Wi-Fi offers greater flexibility, scalability, reliability, convenience, and mobility at cost-effective prices, due to which it is extensively used in various applications. At present, it is commercially available in high-density and enterprise-class Wi-Fi density types.
