Wi-Fi Industry Basics
In a very short time, Wi-Fi has emerged as a significant force in communications. Millions of private Wi-Fi networks have already been set up. Thousands of public Wi-Fi hotspots have sprung up almost overnight. Soon, Wi-Fi hotspots will exist wherever you go in well-populated areas. Devices with Wi-Fi radios are proliferating. Plummeting component costs promise to push Wi-Fi beyond laptops and PDAs into broad consumer electronics devices in the coming years.
The future for the embryonic Wi-Fi hotspot industry looks justifiably bright. However, there are several road blocks on the path to mass market adoption.
