    Wireless Network Fundamentals and OSI Model

    • Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model was created by ISO as a standard reference for data communications between computers in the late 1970s.
    • The OSI model consists of 7 layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.
    • Wi-Fi operates at Layer 1 and the MAC sublayer at Layer 2.
    • Wi-Fi technology is typically used at the access layer networking technology.
