Many people seem to think that
WiFi
technology is reserved purely for wireless broadband
internet access, but in actual fact, it has been put to many
other purposes as well.
For example,
WiFi phones
are built to allow for wireless roaming within a limited area
(e.g. a home or office). This useful technology standard has
also been used in conjunction with VoIP telephony in the
production of
wireless
VoIP phones.
Another use of WiFi is in the handheld computing market.
WiFi PDAs are
becoming more and more common, and can sync with computers and
other devices easily, and without the inconvenience of messy
tangled wires.
Of course, as with all communication devices, you should always
ensure that you have the proper
WiFi
security features enabled in your wireless communication
tools.
