Spelling: WiFi

WiFi [1](tm) The Standard for Wireless Fidelity

WiFi [2] is a marketing brand for 802.11b [3] that seems to be owned
by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA [4]). The idea
is that any equipment bearing the WiFi [5] logo will be able to talk
to any other WiFi [6] branded equipment - hence it is a symbol of
interoperability.

This is the logo you should be looking for to ensure WiFi [7]
certification:

WECA maintains a list of WiFi certified products [8] on their web
site.

It's supposedly short for Wireless Fidelity.

Go figure.
