Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many
applications made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs:
• Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires can't be intsalled, deployed easily, or can't be hidden
from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that makes the installation of an Ethernet based LAN
impossible, impratical, or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution.
• Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups or networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums,
amphitheatres, classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanant or
temporary Wireless LAN established.
• The Ability to Access Real-time Information: Doctors and registered Nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse
workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
• Frequently Changing Environments: Setup networks in environments that change frequently (i.e: show rooms, conventions,
exhibits, etc.).
• Small Office & Home Office: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small network.
• Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to
exchange information between peers and easily access information for learning purposes.
