A wireless network interface controller ( WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna to communicate via radio waves.
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service ( RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting ( AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service. RADIUS was developed by Livingston Enterprises in 1991 as an access server authentication and accounting protocol. It was later brought into IEEE 802 and IETF standards.
Long-range Wi-Fi is used for low-cost, unregulated point-to-point computer network connections, as an alternative to other fixed wireless, cellular networks or satellite Internet access .
A wireless network is a computer network that uses wireless data connections between network nodes. [1] Wireless networking allows homes, telecommunications networks and business installations to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. [2] Admin telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered ...
Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA ), Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 ( WPA2 ), and Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 ( WPA3) are the three security certification programs developed after 2000 by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.
QR codes may be used to display text to the user, to open a webpage on the user's device, to add a vCard contact to the user's device, to open a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), to connect to a wireless network, or to compose an email or text message.
The most common technique for positioning using wireless access points is based on a rough proxy for the strength of the received signal ( received signal strength indication, or RSSI) and the method of "fingerprinting". [5] [6] [7] Typically a wireless access point is identified by its SSID and MAC address, and these data are compared to a database of supposed locations of access points so ...
Radio resource management. Radio resource management ( RRM) is the system level management of co-channel interference, radio resources, and other radio transmission characteristics in wireless communication systems, for example cellular networks, wireless local area networks, wireless sensor systems, and radio broadcasting networks.
