How it works and its characteristics<\/h1>\n<p>In this blog, we have talked about technologies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/nfc-technology-based-solutions-for-business\/\" rel=\"noopener\">NFC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/differences-between-nfc-technology-and-qr-codes\/\" rel=\"noopener\">QR codes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/what-is-bluetooth-technology-and-advantages\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluetooth<\/a>. Today, it is time to tell a bit more about WiFi technology. <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Keep reading because you will find out what it is, its characteristics, and how it works<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>WiFi technology has become something we use daily. Do you activate WiFi on your mobile device when you get home? Surely, at some time you have also asked for the WiFi password in a restaurant or establishment, right?<\/p>\n<p>This type of technology <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">helps to connect devices to the internet at any time<\/span> <\/strong>and from any place where there is a router that allows the connection. At first, connections were allowed in public places; while this technology has been evolving and becoming more and more important, routers arrived at our homes.<\/p>\n<p>Having a router with a WiFi connection at home made it possible to <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">increase the use of tablets, laptops, or mobile phones<\/span><\/strong>, avoiding having to plug in cables to have the internet on the devices.<\/p>\n<p>Just as we use WiFi technology in our personal daily lives, we also do it at work. It improves <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/enterprise-mobility-solutions-for-business\/\" rel=\"noopener\">mobility in the workplace<\/a>. Whether they are factories, offices, warehouses, or buildings, having a wireless internet connection will be able <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">to connect what is happening in different departments and send and share information<\/span> <\/strong>between corporate devices.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14525 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/wifi-technology.jpeg\" alt=\"wifi technology\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/wifi-technology.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/wifi-technology-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/wifi-technology-768x384.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/wifi-technology-705x353.jpeg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2903b16-95c3f26d02916c221a5df3930025b199\">\n#top .hr.av-2903b16-95c3f26d02916c221a5df3930025b199{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-2903b16-95c3f26d02916c221a5df3930025b199 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2903b16-95c3f26d02916c221a5df3930025b199 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1jchkai-90566f588dd60f75359e6d9be749c958\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-1jchkai-90566f588dd60f75359e6d9be749c958 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-1jchkai-90566f588dd60f75359e6d9be749c958 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1jchkai-90566f588dd60f75359e6d9be749c958'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Find out what <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Bluetooth technology<\/span><\/strong> is and the advantages of using it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr ' ><a href='https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/what-is-bluetooth-technology-and-advantages\/'  class='avia-button av-154gs1m-40050ad5cc6125dd77291759c8b23498 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >LEARN MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1ld2axm-e7f59a73c1b9aabc03c020e5012deb4d\">\n#top .hr.av-1ld2axm-e7f59a73c1b9aabc03c020e5012deb4d{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-1ld2axm-e7f59a73c1b9aabc03c020e5012deb4d .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1ld2axm-e7f59a73c1b9aabc03c020e5012deb4d hr-custom  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1nls7lh-034edd94e86a87b6b53a16fa32e174e0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l1nls7lh-034edd94e86a87b6b53a16fa32e174e0 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l1nls7lh-034edd94e86a87b6b53a16fa32e174e0 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1nls7lh-034edd94e86a87b6b53a16fa32e174e0'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>What is WiFi?<\/h2>\n<p>WiFi technology is something that we cannot currently live without, or can you imagine what your day-to-day life would be like without a WiFi connection? Could you do your job normally? And at home, could you watch series or movies on your devices?<\/p>\n<p>These are just some of the things we can do thanks to WiFi technology, often without being aware of what this technology really is.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">WiFi technology is a wireless technology that allows devices access to the internet without the need for cables<\/span><\/strong>. Depending on the router and the connection, it has a range of around 100 meters.<\/p>\n<p>The connection<strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> is possible through infrared and radiofrequency waves<\/span><\/strong>. In this way, the information can be transmitted. In addition, having a WiFi technology router allows several devices to connect to the internet at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the development of more and more devices and technologies, we not only have smartphones or PCs connected to the internet but also tablets or <a href=\"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/smart-tv-app-development\/\" rel=\"noopener\">smart TVs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How WiFi technology works<\/h2>\n<p>For the Wi-Fi connection to work properly, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">a router is necessary<\/span><\/strong>. This is a device connected by cables to the Internet. Through infrared and radiofrequency waves, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">the router is capable of sending information to the devices<\/span> <\/strong>and for them to connect to the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>For a good internet connection, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">the devices must be in the range of the router<\/span><\/strong>, and the closer to the router, the better the connectivity.<\/p>\n<p>Once the router is installed, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">we need its identification name and the password through which we can connect<\/span><\/strong> the devices to the internet. For example, when you activate the WiFi option on your smartphone and it is the first time you connect to that router, it will ask for the name and password.<\/p>\n<p>Once this action is done, the device will already be connected to the internet. Also, this step does not need to be done every time but is done the first time you connect to a particular router. Thus, the device remembers the router and its password.<\/p>\n<p>Like any technology, WiFi has evolved to the<strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> Wi-Fi 6 generation<\/span><\/strong> with more advantages and new features that will allow faster browsing.<\/p>\n<h2>Characteristics of WiFi technology<\/h2>\n<p>As we have said before, to connect to a router is necessary to know the password. Some years ago, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">open networks and access points began to be questioned because of security vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For this reason, <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">needing passwords and creating new security protocols make WiFi technology very secure<\/span><\/strong>. We must also bear in mind that it is a fast technology, especially the closer we are to the router.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of this technology is the ability to <strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">have a good internet connection inside buildings.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-124cgl6-3258b7f87fc5894ca63fec6ff226a9d4\">\n#top .hr.av-124cgl6-3258b7f87fc5894ca63fec6ff226a9d4{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-124cgl6-3258b7f87fc5894ca63fec6ff226a9d4 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-124cgl6-3258b7f87fc5894ca63fec6ff226a9d4 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l1op25ai-cee54b781b4732131ee0197cb03c6420\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l1op25ai-cee54b781b4732131ee0197cb03c6420 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top .av_textblock_section.av-l1op25ai-cee54b781b4732131ee0197cb03c6420 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l1op25ai-cee54b781b4732131ee0197cb03c6420'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Get in touch<\/span> <\/strong>with our team to start your next development project!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr ' ><a href='https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/contact\/'  class='avia-button av-l1op2kqk-e36be15decbd39a2e1a08fec45227600 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-x-large avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >CONTACT US<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-v5xjju-3d42f2d929b0ccc746ff8acd2e59ea29\">\n#top .hr.av-v5xjju-3d42f2d929b0ccc746ff8acd2e59ea29{\nmargin-top:10px;\nmargin-bottom:10px;\n}\n.hr.av-v5xjju-3d42f2d929b0ccc746ff8acd2e59ea29 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100 px;\nborder-color:#c4c4c4;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-v5xjju-3d42f2d929b0ccc746ff8acd2e59ea29 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":14525,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[480],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14522"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14522\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abamobile.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
