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  EAP900H  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.
