Wireless or Wi-Fi local area network is the radio-frequency connection of an off-based computer network.
A Local Area Network whose physical layer (the cabling) has been replaced by radio waves.
A wireless LAN, or local area network, system makes it possible to access the Internet via radio waves, obviating the need for cables to hook up to the Net. Wireless LAN systems require the establishment of relay stations attached to high-speed communications networks such as those using fiber-optic cable. The relay stations provide wireless connections between computers and mobile phones and the communications networks, making it possible to use a PC, cell phone or other device with wireless capability anywhere within the area covered by the relay station. The increasing volume of image and voice data being transmitted by wireless LAN systems has prompted the use of radio waves of a higher frequency recently. With household use of broadband communications expanding, the wireless LAN market is expected to be worth 49 billion yen in fiscal 2006, up from 300 million yen in fiscal 2001.
A type of network that the mobile user can connect to through a wireless (radio) connection.
A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4GHz or 5GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred feet through walls and other non-metal barriers. Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another like a cellular phone system. The major wireless LAN standard today is the IEEE 802.11, more widely known by the "Wi-Fi" logo. Wireless Wi-Fi adapters (Wi-Fi transceivers) are either built into most new laptops or added via a PC card slot or USB. Wireless adapters for desktop machines can be plugged into a USB port or PCI slot.
ocal rea etwork: Local area network using wireless transmissions, such as radio or infrared instead of phone lines or fiber-optic cable to connect data devices.
A local area network connected by wireless technology such as radio waves or infrared.
Wireless LANs or WLANs, that use radio frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. WLANs allow both the transmission of data and the ability to share resources, such as printers, without the need to physically connect each node, or computer, with wires. Wireless LANs offer productivity, convenience, and cost advantages over traditional wired networks.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, wireless LANs or WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. WLANs are essentially networks that allow the transmission of data and the ability to share resources, such as printers, without the need to physically connect each node, or computer, with wires. Wireless LANs offer the productivity, convenience, and cost advantages over traditional wired networks. 802.11 (b) PC cards that provide networking in the 75 to 300 foot range at 5-7 Mbps.
It uses radio frequency technology to transmit network messages through the air for relatively short distances, like across an office building or college campus. A wireless LAN can serve as a replacement for or extension to a wired LAN.
Local area network that communicates using radio technology.
A local area network that uses radio frequency transmission over the air. Works like a cellular phone system with roaming between cells. See wireless LAN.
Wireless Local Area Network, which allows devices to connect to each other and share resources such as data and printers without the need for cable by using radio waves. Typical examples include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
LAN that connects using wireless media such as radio waves. 9.12, 9.36
A logically separate network that provides all the functionality of a wired LAN without the physical constraints of the wire itself. A wireless LAN connects to a wired network through a physical base station. The base station communicates to the computers on that network through airwaves using radio frequency data transmission techniques, as compared with wired LANs that communicate through physical wire.
A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network, which is the linking of two or more computers without using wires. WLAN utilizes spread-spectrum technology based on radio waves to enable communication between devices in a limited area, also known as the basic service set. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad coverage area and still be connected to the network.
