Description
W
WAN (Wide Area Network)
Data communications network that serves users across a broad
geographic area and often uses transmission devices provided by
common carriers.
WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy)
A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Wi-Fi
A trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, founded in 1999 as Wireless Internet
Compatibility Alliance (WICA), comprising more than 300 companies,
whose products are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, based on the IEEE
802.11 standards (also called Wireless LAN (WLAN) and Wi-Fi). This
certification
warrants
interoperability

devices.
WISP (Wireless Internet
Service Provider)
WISPs are Internet service providers with networks built around
wireless networking. The technology used ranges from commonplace
Wi-Fi mesh networking or proprietary equipment designed to operate
over open 900MHz, 2.4GHz, 4.9, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.8GHz bands or licensed
frequencies in the UHF or MMDS bands.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network)
A group of computers and associated devices communicate with each
other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.
