Applications
The
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:
a)
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.
b)
Temporary
workgroups
Consider
situations
in
parks,
athletic
arenas,
exhibition
centers,
disaster
‐
recovery,
temporary
offices
and
construction
sites
where
one
wants
a
temporary
WLAN
established
and
removed.
c)
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.
d)
Frequently
changing
environments
Show
rooms,
meeting
rooms,
retail
stores,
and
manufacturing
sites
where
frequently
rearrange
the
workplace.
e)
Wireless
extensions
to
Ethernet
networks
Network
managers
in
dynamic
environments
can
minimize
the
overhead
caused
by
moves,
extensions
to
networks,
and
other
changes
with
wireless
LANs.
f)
Wired
LAN
backup
Network
managers
implement
wireless
LANs
to
provide
backup
for
mission
‐
critical
applications
running
on
wired
networks.
g)
Training/Educational
facilities
Training
sites
at
corporations
and
students
at
universities
use
wireless
connectivity
to
ease
access
to
information,
information
exchanges,
and
learning.
