Wi-Fi is a technology that allows the exchange of data and connection to the Internet via radio waves. The name Wi-Fi was a trademark that in English is synonymous with the word "WLAN" (Wireless Local Area Network). The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) defines it as any WLAN product on its 802.11 standards that completes the Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification test can only use the "Wi-Fi Certified" mark. Nowadays, more and more devices are starting to use Wi-Fi technology such as laptops, smartphones and other multimedia devices. This is done by connecting a device via a hotspot in your home or different locations. (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The idea of ​​Wi-Fi was born in 1985 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an American telecommunications regulator, decided to open several bands of the wireless spectrum after the government had allowed it use without license. For several years engineer Michael Marcus has taken three spectrums from the industrial, medical and scientific bands and made them known to communications entrepreneurs. (Wil Corp. Inc, 2004) In 1991, NCR Corporation/AT&T in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, invented a precursor to Wi-Fi for the built-in system. The first wireless devices/products were released on the market under the name “WaveLAN”. A Dutch engineer, Vic Hayes, nicknamed "the father of Wi-Fi", was designing other Wi-Fi standards with his team. Wi-Fi was brought to market as early as 2000 by the company Interbrand Corporation, which was commissioned by the Wi-Fi Alliance to think of a name that people would like. It was Phil Belanger, one of the founding members of the Wi-Fi Alliance, who chose the name "Wi-Fi" (a play on the term "Hi-Fi") and created... the medium of paper... ..the art also serves as a background, regarding the regularity of the use of a given gadget by the proponents for access to Wi-Fi. The last part concerns the proponents' observations on the quality of Wi-Fi in certain locations. The responses of these 50 De La Salle Lipa undergraduate students serve as the first-hand data of this study. Works Cited Carter, T. (2005). Wireless connection.
