WI-FI
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 connections. The Wi-Fi is defined as "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards".

WI-FI TERMS
Access Point A transmitting/receiving device that allows access to a wireless network. Also known as a base station. Bluetooth A special type of Wi-Fi designed for distances under 30 feet. Hot Spot An area covered by a wireless network. This term is usually reserved for remote locations such as coffee shops rather than the office's WLAN. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) A older, less secure method of limiting access to a wireless network. A more robust method is WPA. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) A wireless network that covers a limited area such as an office building. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) A newer method of limiting access to a wireless network, designed to address the security flaws in WEP.

HOW IT WORKS

ADVANTAGES
Wi-Fi allows cheaper deployment of local area networks (LANs) Also spaces where cables cannot be run, such as outdoor areas and historical buildings, can host wireless LANs. The price of chipsets for Wi-Fi continues to drop, making it an economical networking option included in even more devices It covers a very large area. High Data transmission rate and high reliability in all weather conditions is always available.

HOTSPOT

WI-MAX
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless communications standard designed to provide 30 to 40 megabit-per-second data ratesup to 1 Gbit/s for fixed stations. It is a part of a fourth generation, or 4G, of wireless-communication technology. WiMax far surpasses the 30-metre wireless range of a conventional Wi-Fi local area network (LAN), offering a metropolitan area network with a signal radius of about 50 km.

 It is used throughout the world which do not have access to Wi-Fi or fixed broadband connectivity. The range of Wi-Fi systems is no more than 300 feet from the base station, making it difficultfor rural groups that dont have cable or DSL service to find wireless access to the Internet. It is the popular term for IEEE Standard 802.16.

USES
The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential applications: Providing portable mobile broadband connectivity across cities and countries through a variety of devices. Providing a wireless alternative to cable and digital subscriber line (DSL) for "last mile" broadband access. Providing data, telecommunications (VoIP) and IPTV services (triple play). Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan. Smart grids and metering

RFID
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID systems provide a powerful technology for tracking the movement of goods throughout the supply chain.

DESCRIPTION

RFID systems use tiny tags with embedded microchips containing data about an item and its location to transmit radio signals over a short distance to RFID readers. The RFID readers then pass the data over a network to a computer for processing. The RFID tag is electronically programmed with information that can uniquely identify an item plus other information about the item, such as its location, where and when it was made, or its status during production. Embedded in the tag is a microchip for storing the data. The rest of the tag is an antenna that transmits data to the reader.

WORKING

The reader unit consists of an antenna and radio transmitter with a decoding capability attached to a stationary or handheld device. The reader emits radio waves in ranges anywhere from 1 inch to 100 feet, depending on its power output, the radio frequency employed, and surrounding environmental conditions. When an RFID tag comes within the range of the reader, the tag is activated and starts sending data. The reader captures these data, decodes them, and sends them back over a wired or wireless network to a hostcomputer for further processing.

WORKING OF RFID

PLACE OF USAGE

Hyper markets and Supermarkets like WalMart,Spencers,More,D-Mat etc. In most of the shopping malls like Central,InOrbit etc. Inventory Control and Supply Chain Management. Logistics support and Courier services like Fed Ex,DHL,Blue Dart etc.
