About Wireless LAN

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired sys-

tems. WLANs are flexible, easy to set up and manage, and more economical than wired LAN systems.

WLANs use radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive data through the air using the unlicensed

2.4 GHz frequency band. WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam

from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN.

Using WLANs, users can conveniently access shared information, while network administrators can configure

and augment networks without installing or moving network cables.

WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features:

Mobility

WLANs provide LAN users with access to real-

time information anywhere in their organization,

providing service opportunities that are impossi-

ble with wired networks.

Scalability

WLANs can be configured in a variety of topolo-

gies to adapt to specific applications and

installations.

Easy

Installation

Installing is easy for novice and expert users

alike, eliminating the need to install network ca-

bles in walls and ceilings.
