WiFi was invented by a team of engineers at the now-defunct NCR Corporation in the early 1990s. The team was led by Victor Hayes and led to the development of the IEEE 802.11 standard, which is the basis for WiFi technology today. The team used existing radio frequency technology to create a wireless local area network (WLAN) that allowed for the transfer of data between two or more devices. This technology was initially used to connect cash registers in retail stores, but eventually it was adapted for use in homes and offices.
