area networking without wires, which uses radio frequencies to transmit and receive data
between PC’s or other network devices. Wireless LAN is able to configure independent
networks and infrastructure networks. The former is suitable for small or temporary
peer-to-peer configurations, and the later is offering fully distributed data connectivity via
micro cells and roaming.
