1.无线保真(WiFi):
WiFi代表无线保真。它是Wi-Fi联盟的商标,是指基于IEEE 802.11的无线网络标准。它通过无线局域网(WLAN)连接多个设备。 WiFi通过固定的wifi热点提供与下一代无线设备的Internet连接,并且它使用连接到相应Internet服务提供商(ISP)的路由器来创建WLAN。
在简单的WiFi中,是一种无线网络标准,智能设备使用它来进行无线通信,而无需电缆。任何兼容WiFi的设备都可以与其他兼容WiFi的设备进行无线交互。
例如,我们的智能手机或笔记本电脑内部具有WiFi芯片,可让我们将其连接到无线热点。
2.行动WiFi(MiFi):
MiFi代表移动WiFi,有些人也将其称为“我的WiFi”。另一方面,它是一个互联网设备,可在设备移动时提供连接。它可以称为调制解调器,甚至可以称为路由器。 MiFi不仅仅支持WiFi标准。他们还支持3G或4G LTE等移动数据技术,并根据插入的SIM卡从各自的电信提供商那里获取移动数据。
无论我们身在何处,MyFi均用于创建Ad-hoc无线局域网(WLAN)网络。 MiFi通常会在其中内置WiFi。 MiFi包括两个主要部分,即调制解调器和WiFi路由器。 WiFi路由器提供WiFi连接,而调制解调器则提供与基于3G或4G LTE等无线标准的下一代无线设备的连接。
例如, Verizon Inseego Jetpack MiFi 8800L因其广泛的覆盖范围,快速的性能和更长的电池寿命而成为大多数人的最佳选择。
