1-5 Applications
Wireless LAN 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 wireless LANs:
1. Difficult-to-wire
environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings,
open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very
expensive.
2. Temporary
workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery, temporary office
and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.
3. The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and processing information.
4. Frequently changed environments
