The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) sets the communication standards and the Wi-Fi alliance. This signal is regulated just like any other radio station would be. A few people know this, but Wi-Fi is actually a very high frequency radio signal, which is why it can travel through the air and allows computers, gaming consoles, iPads, cell phones and the whole family of devices to connect wirelessly. Wi-Fi is an abbreviation for Wireless Fidelity. Not a lot of people have something nice to say about telecommunication providers, but when it comes to wireless networking, the success can really be seen.
