Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
A WLAN is a series of interconnected computers that communicate with
each other over the air waves rather than through a network cable connected
to each computer. In a WLAN, a radio communications device called an
access point or wireless router connects network computers and provides
Internet, or network, access. The access point or wireless router and the
wireless network adapter in the computer or Tablet-PC communicate by
broadcasting data from their antennas over the air waves.
