Wireless
Basics
Wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and
compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public
access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the wireless
family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and
where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking
delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that
transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs
are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas
such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN
technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have
proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.
Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same
protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to
link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet
connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used
to provide this link.
What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the
network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so
you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office
network.
How does Wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to
transmit data from one point A to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions
as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network
range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of
wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal
Area Network (WPAN).
