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 – WLANs are easy to set up, manage,
change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from a
WLAN 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 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.
