 					Due to increased demand for convenient networking and more flexible access to both the Internet and company resources via more geographically widespread coverage areas, wireless networking use has increased dramatically in recent years. Mobile access to data services previously unavailable is now common. The sales and penetration of wireless access have resulted in a recent projection by <ulink url="http://www.abiresearch.com/">ABI Research</ulink> that one billion Wi-Fi chipsets <ulink url="http://www.abiresearch.com/press/1474-One+Billion+Wi-Fi+Chipsets+to+Ship+in+2011+Alone">will ship in the year 2011</ulink>.</para>

-					Not only has wireless data access achieved a great deal of market penetration in recent years, but the price of the related hardware has dropped dramatically, making it even more accessible. Wi-Fi seems to be everywhere; in laptops, desktops, PDAs, cell phones and routers, and there is such a large amount of wireless networks in many urban areas that complete overcrowding of the public wireless radio spectrum in use can occur.

Although the specific wireless technology based on IEEE 802.11 is the primary focus of this guide, other mobile technologies and their relation to &PRODUCT; and Linux are also mentioned. Parts of this guide contain detailed information specific to &PRODUCT; and other Linux operating systems, however, many of the topics and concepts relate to all operating systems, vendors, and environments.

 					A wireless LAN (referred to as WLAN in this guide) is a wireless local area network that allows computers or other devices to communicate via radio frequency (RF) technology. It affords the user mobility to move around and stay connected to the network without using physical cables such as in a traditional Ethernet system.

-					The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is a non-profit, global organization which implemented and continually develops a set of standards for wireless communication. This family of standards is known as IEEE 802.11 and consists of the actual standards and protocols defining how computers communicate via a WLAN. Standards are discussed in more detail later. Although wireless networks are commonly referred to as Wi-Fi, this is only a marketing term chosen by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (now known as the Wi-Fi Alliance). When referring to Wi-Fi, the underlying technology is typically a WLAN or device operating within the standards of the IEEE within the 802.11 family.
