Wi-Fi的发明者是谁吗？

果仁1212

Wi-Fi的发明者为悉尼大学毕业生John O'Sullivan博士，被誉为澳洲有史以来最重要的科技发明。IEEE曾经恳求澳洲将Wi-Fi技术免费提供给全世界使用，但是被澳洲方面拒绝了，所以现在我们每购买一台含有Wi-Fi技术的电子设备，所付的价钱都包含了这项专利使用费。

如果不是楼主说，还真不知道这个。

I don't think you are all correct...

Vic Hayes & The 802.11 Standard
Vic Hayes has been called the "father of Wi-Fi" because he chaired the IEEE committee that created the 802.11 standard in 1997. Before the public even heard of WiFi, Vic Hayes established the standards that would make WiFi feasible. The 802.11 standard was established in 1997. Subsequently, improvements to the network bandwidth were added to the 802.11 standard. That's what the appended letters represent: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and more. As a consumer, you should know that the latest version is the best version in terms of performance and is the version you would want all your new equipment to be compatible with.

WLAN Patent
One key patent for WiFi technology that has won patent litigation lawsuits and does deserve credit belongs to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) of Australia. CSIRO invented a chip which greatly improved the signal quality of WiFi.
According to PHYSORG, "The invention came out of CSIRO's pioneering work (during the 1990s) in radioastronomy, with a team of its scientists (led by Dr John O'Sullivan) cracking the problem of radio waves bouncing off surfaces indoors, causing an echo that distorts the signal. They overcame it by building a fast chip that could transmit a signal while reducing the echo, beating many of the major communications companies around the world that were trying to solve the same issue."

CSIRO credits the following inventors: Dr John O’Sullivan, Dr Terry Percival, Mr Diet Ostry, Mr Graham Daniels and Mr John Deane for creating this technology.
