Wireless Basics (continued)
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
change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and
logically, can benefit from a WLAN's ease of implementation. WLANs can
operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion
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 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 larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or
thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.
Inexpensive solution
priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.
