WEP Encryption

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)

WNMS (was renamed to AirBEAM

Wide-Area Network. A radio network that supports data

communication beyond a local area. That is, information

can be sent across a city, state, or even nationwide.

A warm boot restarts the mobile computer by closing all

running programs. All data that is not saved to flash

memory is lost.

Wired Equivalent Privacy, is specified by IEEE for encryption

and decryption of RF (wireless) communications.

(Wired Equivalent Privacy encryption) The conversion of

data into a secret code for transmission over a public

network. The original text, or plaintext, is converted into a

coded equivalent called ciphertext via an encryption

algorithm. The ciphertext is decoded (decrypted) at the

receiving end and turned back into plaintext. The encryption

algorithm uses a key, which is a binary number that is

typically from 40 to 128 bits in length. The greater the

number of bits in the key (cipher strength), the more

possible key combinations and the longer it would take to

break the code. The data is encrypted, or "locked," by

combining the bits in the key mathematically with the data

bits. At the receiving end, the key is used to "unlock" the

code and restore the original data.

(Wireless Network Management Protocol) This is Symbol's

proprietary MAC layer protocol used for inter access point

communication and other MAC layer communication.
