Abstract
It is important to choose the right time to start a company, because it is function of the economy. In fact, it is easier to start a company when the economy is bad, as the company will be able to commence its functions when the economy re-starts. In this case, we will study the feasibility of adapting the Wi-Fi system for use in cars, thereby creating a new need.
Before presenting the project I will explain what a Wi-Fi System is, and what it consists in. Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a standard technology for wireless access to local networks. Thus the term "Wi-Fi" refers to certain kinds of wireless local area networks, or WLAN (as opposed to LAN, or computers that are networked together with wires). Wi-Fi (short for "wireless fidelity") denotes certain types of wireless local area networks that use specifications of the 802.11 family. The term Wi-Fi was created by an organization called the Wi-Fi Alliance, which oversees tests that certify product interoperability. A product that passes the alliance tests is given the label "Wi-Fi certified". My project is linked to this technology. The project, aims to provide a system of Wi-Fi inside taxis, and cars, which can then be developed into a common product for everybody. It is a clear and simple concept- to provide a Wi-Fi system in cars to develop the technology, on one hand, and provide a lot of advantages at the same time.
Originally, Wi-Fi certification was only applicable to products using the 802.11b standard. Today, Wi-Fi can be applied to products that use any 802.11 standard. The 802.11 specifications are part of an evolving set of wireless network standards known as the 802.11 family. The particular specification under which a Wi-Fi network operates is called the "flavor" of the network. Wi-Fi has gained acceptance in many businesses, agencies, schools, and homes as an alternative to a wired LAN. Many airports, hotels, and fast-food facilities offer public access to Wi-Fi networks. These locations are known as hot spots. Many charge a daily or hourly rate for access, but some are free. An interconnected area of hot spots and network access points is known as a hot zone.
Unless adequately protected, a Wi-Fi network can be susceptible to access by unauthorized users who use the access as a free Internet connection. It is important to add that developing this concept in cars is possible nowadays because it is possible to use different antennae in big cities. For instance, in Paris you can link the computer that is in the car to an antenna used for other Wi-Fi, wireless support. In fact, access to the Internet in Paris is free and available to everyone thanks to the different borders in the city. As a consequence, it is possible to use these different borders and connect to them from cars. The project of Wi-Fi car system is possible by moving from one border to another.
