Wi-Fi

Wireless Fidelity. An interoperability certification for wireless local area network (LAN)

Wi-Fi Alliance (also known as WECA).

WiMAX

rginal

802.16 standard call for operating frequency of 10 to 66Ghz spectrum. The 802.16a

mendment extends the original standard into spectrum between 2 and 11 Ghz. 802.16d

increase data rates to between 40 and 70 Mbps/s and add support for MIMO antennas,

d multiple polling technologies. 802.16e adds mobility features, narrower

Wireless Distribution System. WDS defines how multiple wireless Access Point or Wireless

Router can connect together to form one single wireless network without using wired

uplinks. WDS associate each other by MAC address, each device

WLAN

Wireless Local Area Network. A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio

waves rather than wires to communicate between nodes. The most popular standard for

WLAN is the 802.11 standards.

WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy. A wireless encryption protocol. WEP is available in 40-bit (64-bit

108-bit (128-bit) or 152-bit (Atheros proprietary) encryption modes.

products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. The governing body for Wi-Fi is called

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. A Wireless Metropolitan Network

technology that complies with IEEE 802.16 and ETSI Hiperman standards. The o
