History of WiFi
Posted By spikyemrys
The complexity of WiFi is usually too difficult for the average person to understand. To break it down, WiFi is an internet connection that uses two types of radio technology: a single carrier and a multi-carrier. The single carrier type of radio technology, direct sequence spread spectrum radio technology, was the reason behind unlicensed spread spectrum whose regulations enabled the development of WiFi as well as other wireless technology such as cordless telephones, Bluetooth, etc.The father of WiFi title has been awarded to Netherland invention, WaveLAN. Invented during 1991 by the NCR Corporation which later was renamed Lucent & Agere Systems, it held the chair of IEEE 802.11 for 10 years.
