WiFi

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Uncyclopedia provides WiFi access for all its users.

“WiFi will be obsolete once the wireless Internet is perfected.”

~ Oscar Wilde on WiFi

“In Soviet Russia, data transmits YOU!”

~ A Soviet studies expert

WiFi (pronounced Wi-Fi) or also known as Wire without the electrical fire is a standard of data link transportation between wireless networks via frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. WiFi allows computers and mobile devices to access a local network or even the Internet without being wired. It is used as an alternate for running Ethernet cable through buildings by a networking cannon.

[edit] History

[edit] Before WiFi

Straightening the wire coat hanger will void the warranty and will not be eligible for repair.

Before the introduction of WiFi, several technologies had been used to implement an easier method to computer networking. The metal coat hanger method was popular choice for wireless networking. When the coat hangers were hung from a coat rack facing in the direction of the magnetic North Pole, it is possible to receive signals by hooking it up to the Ethernet jack of a computer using a device called a bridge. However, the use of this method requires the user to wear a tinfoil hat to protect inadvertent mind control^[1].

Other devices or methods, although less popular, used were the Invis-a-net, Packet Pidgin, and sending signals using earthquake tremors.

[edit] The creation of WiFi

The technology of a WiFi tower may shoot eye beams if necessary to destroy cheap stakes.

WiFi was first established in 1996 by the IEEE. Technicians were fed up trying to get knots out of Ethernet cables and complained to the managers. The managers grumbled and sought a quick solution.

Augh. These cables. Do something about them! They are all around us. We have wireless electricity. Why can't we have cable-free cables?[2]

The wireless light bulb was lit. Developers at IEEE worked day and night to create a network system that did not use any cables. Finally on January 5th, the WiFi protocol and technology was made a standard.

Since then, the reception of WiFi has been strong with little noise or interference from neighboring technologies. The transmission of this technology reached a frame burst in North America and Japan, while the preamble in other countries gradually ramped up speed to 54 other countries. Clients who invested in WiFi technology agreed and authenticated that WiFi will be a service set identifier in wireless data communication. WiFi still gains bandwidth today.

[edit] Comparison of WiFi frequencies

WiFi operates on different levels of channels. The following chart illustrates its usages and similarities^[3]:

[edit] Other applications of WiFi

WiFi can be used by the government to monitor your Internet usage or maybe even more? Get me my tinfoil hat!

“My cell phone has a range up to 100 metres! 10 metres indoors of course.”

WiFi has applications beyond Internet use due to its versatility. Its protocol can be easily adapted to the latest trends without the need of developing an entire new system. WiFi has been extended to refrigerators that automatically receive RSS foods, universal remotes that are even more universal, and to shirts with built-in WiFi music systems.

Recently, WiFi was developed for mobile cell phones. This allowed people to carry their own cell phones without a long cord. Typically before the use of WiFI, cell phone usage was limited to the length of the phone cord. Any use beyond the length required roaming charges or an upgrade to a increased range subscription plan.
