We hereby declare that the Project entitled “WI-FI” being submitted in partial fulfillment for the certificate for vocational training to “Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, Durg” is the authentic record of our own work done under the guidance of Mr. S.K. Dani (SDE), our project guidence.

First & foremost, we thank Almighty God for giving me this unique opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who have extended helping hands to make this study success. We have a great pleasure in expressing my deep sense of gratitude to Mr. S.K. Dani (SDE), without whose help we would never have achieved completion in our work. We would heartily like to thank DGM(CFA) and all our teachers for guiding us forth in this project. With due regards we feel immense pleasure in expressing our deepest gratitude to our amiable parents & friends whose filial affection, encouragement & blessing have been a beacon light to us in all undertakings.

 Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly (using radio waves) over a computer network, including high-speed Internet connectionswirelesslyradio wavescomputer networkhigh-speed Internet  Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) is a generic term that refers to the IEEE communications standards for wireless local area networks.  Wi-Fi network connect computers to each other to the internet and to the wired network.

Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies to transmit & receive data at high speed: →IEEE b →IEEE a →IEEE g

 Appear in late  Operates at 2.4GHz radio spectrum.  11Mbps (theoretical speed) within 30m range.  4-6Mbps (actual speed)  feet range.  Most popular, least expensive.  Interference from mobile phones and bluetooth devices which can reduce the transmission speed.

 Introduced in  Operates at 5GHz (less popular)  54 Mbps (theoretical speed)  Mbps (actual speed)  feet range  More expensive  Not compatible with b

 Introduced in 2003  Combine the feature of both standards (a,b)  feet range  54 Mbps speed  2.4GHz radio frequencies  Compatible with “b”

 Access point (AP): The AP is a wireless LAN transceiver or “base station” that can connect one or many wireless devices simultaneously to the internet.  Wi-Fi cards: They accept the wireless signal and relay information. They can be internal & external.  Safeguards: Firewalls and anti-virus software protect networks from uninvited users and keep information secure.

 Basic concept is same as walkie-talkies.  A Wi-Fi hotspot is created by installing an access point to an internet connection.  An access point acts as a base station.  When Wi-Fi enabled device encounters a hotspot the device can then connect to that network wirelessly.  A single access point can support up to 30 users and can function within a range of feet indoors and up to 300 feet outdoors.  Many access point can be connected to each other via Ethernet cables to create a single large network.

 AP based topology (infrastructure mode)  Peer-to-peer topology  Point-to-multipoint bridge topology

 The client communicate through access point.  BSA-RF coverage provided by an AP.  ESA-IT consist of 2 or more BSA.  ESA cell includes 10-15% overlap to allow roaming.

 AP is not required.  Client devices within a cell can communicate directly with each other.  It is useful for setting up of a wireless network quickly and easily.

This is used to connect a LAN in one building to a LANs in other buildings even if the buildings are miles apart.
