wi-fi
<networking> Either of two different incompatible radio-based LAN
protocols, namely 802.11b (which speaks DSSS at 2.4GHz) and 802.11a (which
speaks OFDM at 5GHz).
The term was invented by the marketing departments of wi-fi equipment
manufacturers. It is, notionally, short for "wireless fidelity", on the analogy
of hi-fi for "high fidelity" audio.
