WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy
WEP encrypts data over WLANs. Data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits
length or 128 bits length. The encrypted data can only be sent and received by
users with access to a private network key. Each PC on your wireless network
must be manually configured with the same key as your device in order to
allow wireless encrypted data transmissions. Eavesdroppers cannot access your
network if they do not know your private key. WEP is considered to be a low
security option.
Wideband
Variously defined.
The term wideband is often used to describe a digital
transmission facility operating at speeds in excess of 1.544Mbps. It is also used
in the analog domain to describe a channel with a large bandwidth (e.g., "the
CATV industry offers a collection of wideband channels")
WiFi
Wireless Fidelity
A term usually used for 802.11 based Wireless LANs.
See Wireless LAN.

Wireless Channel
The 802.11 WiFi standards divide the available frequency bands into channels,
with a certain degree of overlap between neighboring channels.
Not every

of channels is regulated by each country.
