WLAN
In the simplest of terms, a wireless local-area network (WLAN) does exactly what the name implies: it
provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies, such as Ethernet and Token Ring,
without the limitations of wires or cables. But to view a WLAN just in terms of the cables it does not
have is to miss the point: WLANs redefine the way we view LANs. Connectivity no longer implies
attachment. An infrastructure need not be buried in the ground or hidden behind the walls—an
"infrastructure" can move and change at the speed of the organization. This technology has several
immediate applications, including:
z
IT professionals or business executives who want mobility within the enterprise, perhaps in
addition to a traditional wired network
z
Business owners or IT directors who need flexibility for frequent LAN wiring changes, either
throughout the site or in selected areas
z
Any company whose site is not conducive to LAN wiring because of building or budget
