=== Wi-Fi ===

'''Wi-Fi''' is the trademark of Wi-Fi Alliance covering the functionality defined by the set of IEEE 802.11 standards.
This set of standards defines so-called Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) operation principles. This name comes from the
idea that Wi-Fi should provide LAN-like functionality over the air. It concerns frequency bands used, possible supported
data rates, data and management frame formats etc.

 P2P Wi-Fi mode, also known as '''Wi-Fi Direct''' is the emerging standard where two wireless devices are to negotiate which one
 will act as a station and which will effectively become an Access Point. The latter one will then be called a '''Group owner''' and
 will allow other P2P-enabled wireless devices to connect to it.
