Wi-Fi is the acronym for Wireless Fidelity, essentially a set of
standards for transmitting data over a wireless network.
Wi-Fi allows you to connect to the net at broadband speeds without cables, as long as you have the right equipment and, in most cases, a regular internet service provider and a wireless router. To understand the technology behind Wi-Fi, imagine using a walkie-talkie. Your voice is picked up by a microphone, encoded onto a radio frequency and transmitted with the antenna to another walkie-talkie, which decodes your voice. Wi-Fi works in broadly in the same way, but using a better radio that is capable of handling a lot more data per second.
The Roberts internet radios enable you to connect to over 6000 internet radio stations from all over the world, and also offer a ‘Listen Again’ feature that allows you to listen to previously broadcast BBC programmes at your leisure. Browsing stations is really simple thanks to on-screen radio station listings that are automatically updated and conveniently sorted into country or genre. All you need to get started is a broadband internet connection with either a wireless router or wired Ethernet connection.
Furthermore, these radios offer the additional benefit being able to stream music stored on your PC through the radio. Thanks to the incorporated media player, now you can listen to your personal music collection away from your PC.
