Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi): Wi-Fi is the popular term for a high-frequency wireless local area network and the consumer-friendly name for the 802.11b engineering standard. Wi-Fi technology is rapidly gaining acceptance as an alternative to a wired local area network (LAN). WIFI is now being increasingly used for more services such as internet accessibility, gaming, connectivity of televisions, digital cameras and DVDs’, as well as VoIP phone access. This is only the beginning with many more functions being developed on the way.

WIFI also allows home and office users to create wireless local networks, which connect two or more computers to each other to benefit from a faster Internet connection. This way there is no more poking holes in walls or tripping over bulky Ethernet cables.

WIFI connectivity can range from single room coverage to many kilometers of overlapping hotspots.

Mobinil is offering Wi-Fi wireless Broadband Internet service to all customers delivered via the LINKdotNET network. This service is offered free of charge for the duration of the summer and can be accessed from approximately 200 hotspot locations in Cairo, Alexandria, El Gouna, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.
