The Term
Wi-Fi stands a short term for “Wireless Fidelity” first introduced by a
marketing firm named, ‘Interbrand’. They named it Wi-Fi to sound attractive;
originally it is “Wireless Local Area Network” that uses IEEE 802.11b Direct
Sequence. However this new advancement was already in talks and debates during
mid 80s, the process of launching it into public didn’t commence until the end
of 90s. During that period an Alliance was formed as non profit trade
association that could assist its further progress.
