Technology that uses radio waves to allow devices to exchange information without wires. It is commonly used to enable mobile internet access. --- "WI FI" is a neologism (new word) that represents a play on the old slang "Hi Fi", which originally meant "high fidelity" (music) and was generally applied to phonographs and the vinyl records played on them. "WI FI" would therefore be "wireless high fidelity", consisting of broadband wireless routers used privately or publicly to connect computers at high speed without wired connections.

Wi-fi is a type of facility which allows devices such as tablets and smartphones to connect to the internet.
