The Wi-Fi architecture consists of a base station that wireless hosts connect to in order to access network resources. As long as the users remain within 300 feet of the fixed wireless access point, they can maintain broadband wireless connectivity. Wi-Fi is the Predecessor of WiMax
23. Simplicity and ease of deployment given that it uses unlicensed radio spectrum which does not require regulatory approval. Cost of rolling out this wireless solution is low. Users are able to be mobile for up to 300 feet from the access point. There are many Wi-Fi compatible products that are available at a low cost and can interoperate with other network technologies. Wi-Fi clients can work seamlessly in other countries with minimal configuration. Strengths of Wi-Fi
