3. Wireless LAN Basics
Wireless LAN (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advant ages over a traditional,
wired system. Wireless LANs (WLANs) are more fl exible, easier to setup and manage and often more
cost effect ive t han their wired equivalence.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the
need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through
simplified configur ation, enable m ovab le LANs.
With wireless LANs, users can access shared information without looking for a place to plug in and
net work m anag ers can set up or augm ent net works wit h out in stall ing or moving wires. Wir eles s LANs
off er the foll owing pr oduct ivity , con ven ience and c os t advantages over tr aditional wir ed n etworks:
• Mobility - Wireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time information
anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not
possible with wired networks.
• Inst al lat ion Speed and Sim plic ity - Inst all ing a wirel ess LAN system can b e fast and easy and can
elim inate t he need to pull c able thr ough walls and ceilings.
• Installation Flexibility - Wirel es s techn ology all ows the network t o go where wires c ann ot go.
• Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for wireless LAN hardware
mig ht be high er th an the cost of wired LAN har dware, over all installat ion expen ses and l ife-cy cl e
costs will be significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments
requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.
• Scalability - Wireless LAN systems can be configured in a variety of top ologies to meet the needs
of sp ecif ic app l ication s and inst all ation s. Con figu rat ions ar e eas ily chang ed and rang e from p eerto-p eer n et works s uit abl e for a smal l nu mber of u ser s to ful l in f rast ructu re n etwork s of thou sand s
