Wi-Fi Controls

The Wi-Fi alliance says that Wi-Fi is any “wireless local area network” product based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard 802.11. Today, Wi-Fi is used universally to mean a wireless means to connect to the Internet. Wi-Fi used to only be available on computers but as the technology evolved, shrunk, and grew more intelligent, it was integrated into portable devices like phones and tablets. Now there are several million products around the world that are Wi-Fi-enabled so that they can be remotely accessible.

Most drones today are Wi-Fi enabled so that they can broadcast video to a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Some drones also use Wi-Fi for remote controlling through a tablet or mobile application. The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 offers high-end interactive controls with their mobile application that runs on an iPhone or iPad. Figure 8-5 is a picture of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 tablet controls.
