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.

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.
