Using Wireless LAN (WLAN)
Thanks to Sony’s Wireless LAN (WLAN), all your digital devices with built-in WLAN functionality
communicate freely with each other through a powerful network. A WLAN is a network in which a mobile
user can connect to a local area network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection. So there is no need
anymore to pull cables or wires through walls and ceilings.
The Sony WLAN supports all normal Ethernet activities, but with the added benefits of mobility and
roaming. You can still access information, internet/intranet and network resources, even in the middle of a
meeting, or as you move from one place to another.
You can communicate
without an Access Point
, this means that you can communicate between a limited
number of computers (
peer-to-peer
), or you can communicate through
an Access Point
, which allows you
to create a full Access Point network (
Access Point
).
