Wireless Local Area Networks provide cable-free connection between notebooks, desktop PCs, printers, PDAs and your office network via wireless base stations. WLANs are typically used to extend the reach of a conventional wired LAN. The major standard for WLAN networks is 802.11.
LAN network where radio, microwave, or infrared links take the place of physical cables. Also known as Cableless LANs (CLANs).
a local area network that uses high frequency radio signals to transmit and receive data over distances of a few hundred feet; uses ethernet protocol
Series of computers linked together without wires. Ability to exchange files between PCs on LAN.
Wireless generally refers to devices that communicate with other devices without wires. Examples of wireless media include RF, infrared, microwave, and satellite. It is important to note that RF is wireless but wireless is not necessarily RF.
A wireless LAN is one in which a mobile user can connect to a local area network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection.
A short range computer to computer wireless data communications network.
A wireless network that corresponds to wireless laptops or other mobile devices.
A wireless data communications system that lies within a limited spatial area, has a specific user group, has a specific topology, and is not a public switched telecommunications network, but may be connected to one. LANs are usually restricted to relatively small areas, such as rooms, buildings, ships, and aircraft.
A wireless LAN is a data communications system providing wireless peer-to-peer (PC-to-PC, PC-to-hub, or printer-to-hub) and point-to-point (LAN-to-LAN) connectivity within a building or campus. In place of TP or coaxial wires or optical fiber as used in a conventional LAN, WLANs transmit and receive data over electromagnetic waves. WLANs perform traditional network communications functions such as file transfer, peripheral sharing, e-mail, and database access as well as augmenting wired LANs. WLANs must include NICs (adapters) and access points (in-building bridges), and for campus communications building-to-building (LAN-LAN) bridges.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data wirelessly in a certain area. This allows users in a small zone to transmit data and share resources, such as printers, without physically connecting each computer with cords or wires.
A local area network whereby a mobile user can connect to through a wireless (radio) connection.
Uses radio frequency technology to transmit network messages through the air for relatively short distances, like across an office building or college campus.
A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among the network clients and devices. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. Just like a LAN, the network lets users at that location share files, printers and other services.
A nominal 1000 foot (or less) short range computer-to-computer data communications network.
