Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) technology permits
the development of a radio-frequency network just like an Ethernet
network but without the necessity of wires.
Thus a user can access the network from the
office, the terrace of a café or an airport in the same way
as you listen to the radio from almost anywhere.

Local area networks based on 802.11 technologies are widespread in
other countries like the USA or the Scandinavian countries. These
networks are widely used basically due to the following factors:
- User
mobility.
- Wide band connection to services.
- Widely available, standard technology.
- Low cost.
The "Zona de acesso wireless à Internet" identifiers mark
the presence of an hotspot.
QuickAccess has joined Intel's initiative to clearly mark the places
where this technology is available.
