The network technology that allows for secure, wireless connection over a distance is Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi technology utilizes radio waves to transmit and receive data, enabling devices to connect to local networks without the need for physical cables. Modern Wi-Fi standards, such as 802.11ac and 802.11ax, offer improved speed, capacity, and security features like WPA3 encryption, enhancing user experience and protecting data integrity. Wi-Fi is widely used in homes, offices, and public spaces, accommodating a variety of devices and applications, from simple browsing to high-bandwidth streaming.
