People use wireless LAN 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 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 pull
cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go
where wires cannot go – even outside the home or office.
Scalability
WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies 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 larger infrastructure
networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the
number of wireless devices deployed.
Inexpensive Solution
Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet
network devices.
Standards-Based Technology
Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DP-G310 is interoperable with existing
compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps
