Wireless Basics
People use WLAN technology for many different purposes.
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any
location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions
based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change
and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and logically,
can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in
locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be
fast and easy and can eliminate the need to install cable through walls and
ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot
go - even outside the home or office.
Inexpensive Solution – Wireless network devices are as competitively
priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.
Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the
needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily
changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number
of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow
roaming over a broad area.
