Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and
highly efficient. The following list describes some of the
many applications made possible through the power and
flexibility of WLANs:
•
Difficult-to-Wire Environments:
There are many situations where
wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden from
view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas
that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible,
impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network
solution.
• Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks
in more open areas within a building; auditoriums, amphitheaters
classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary
offices where one wants either a permanent or temporary Wireless
LAN established.
• The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses,
Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers, and/or processing information.
• Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in
environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms,
Exhibits, etc.).
• Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users
require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
• Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks:
Devices like the EAP1200H enable network administrators,
installers, and end-users to extend the range and reach of an
existing Ethernet-based network.
•
Training/Educational Facilities:
Training sites at corporations or
students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for
learning purposes.
