About Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is wireless networking that provides access to local area networks without using
network cabling, and it is faster and has a greater range than Bluetooth wireless
technology. Wi-Fi can achieve connection speeds of up to 11Mbps, which easily allows
you to share large files or quickly surf the internet with your Omnia.
Note: Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is a WLAN based on the 802.11 protocol, which transmits
and receives in the 2.4 GHz frequency ISM band. Your Omnia supports the 802.11b/g
protocol stack.
Note: The Omnia may not be operable with all wireless access points.
Wi-Fi allows you to:
• Access the internet
• Access your corporate network
• Use hotspots provided by hotels or airports while traveling
• Send and receive email quickly
