I thought all the presentations had a lot of good information that I didn't know before. I was especially interested in learning about how WIFI came to be. I know what it is and use it all the time but I never knew the story of how it became what it is today.
He established the IEEE 802.11 Working Group and was head of that committee up until 2000.
John O'Sullivan was also involved in creating a version of wifi. O'Sullivan was an Australian engineer. His main job was figuring out how wifi could communicate to the computers without using wires.
O'Sullivans group then introduced the Wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN is a wireless computer network that can link two or more devices using wireless communication.
In 2003, the speeds and connections only started to get faster. The distance that wifi could cover was also larger. During this year the 802.11 g standard was introduced. The routers were bigger and more powerful and were starting to catch up to the fastest wired connections.
In 2009 another version of the 802.11g was released with faster and even more reliable than the first model. From this point on, wifi just continued to grow and evolve and is still doing so today.
There are so many updates and changes that have happened since the original model came out back in 1997. Since then there have been around six different developed versions of wifi. We are currently up to Wifi 6e which improved on the data being less crowded and operates smoother than its predecessor.
Wifi has completely changed the world of communications. The goal was to be able to connect people from all around the world and let them be able to connect with one another.
Wifi has changed the way education is run, networking for jobs, politics, almost anything you can think of. It is now so easy to contact anyone from anywhere and be able to form a connection with that person whether it be professional or personal.
