Wireless LAN

Wireless communication occurs over radio waves rather than a wire. Like a cordless telephone, a wireless LAN
uses radio signals instead of wires to exchange data. A wireless network eliminates the need for expensive and
intrusive wiring to connect computers throughout the home or office. Mobile users can remain connected to the
network even when carrying their laptop to different locations in the home or office.
Each computer on a wireless LAN requires an adapter described in
Laptop PCs Use a Motorola PCC11b Wireless Card in the PCMCIA slot.
Desktop PCs Use a Motorola USB11b Wireless Adapter to connect the USB port.
