__IEEE [802.11]__
A set of specifications for wireless networks, also known as [Wi-Fi]. Comes in various flavours: [802.11b] (the first popular form, on the 2.4GHz band, with a claimed bandwidth of 11Mb/s), 802.11a (on the 5GHz band, never very popular), [802.11g] (also on 2.4GHz but with claimed bandwidth up to 54Mb/s, probably the most common nowadays), 802.11n (even higher bandwidth, still not yet finalized, which hasn’t stopped vendors bringing out products conforming to “pre-N” or “draft-N” specs).
