Wi-Fi or WiFi is a technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, which restricts the use of the term Wi-Fi Certified to products that successfully complete interoperability certification testing.
The term Wi-Fi was created the Wi-Fi Alliance as a play on Hi-Fi, an abbreviation for high fidelity, which referred to high-quality audio reproduction. Similarly, Wi-Fi is often thought to be short for wireless fidelity. However, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi is not an abbreviation. The confusion may stem from the fact that the Alliance briefly used The standard for wireless fidelity as a slogan for Wi-Fi.
