Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi was invented in 1991 by NCR corporation/AT&T in the Netherlands. Initially meant for cashier systems, the first wireless products were brought onto the market under the name WaveLAN with speeds of 1Mbps/2Mbps. But the actual father of Wi-Fi has been named as Vic Hayes, who designed the standards such as IEEE 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. The design now forms the basis of network access through Wi-Fi.
