Wireless Basics (continued) People use WLAN technology for many different purposes: Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency. Low Implementation Costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from a WLAN's ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical. Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go-even outside the home or office. Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed. 72

Wireless Basics
(continued)
People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility
-
Productivity increases when people have access to data in any
location within the operating range of the WLAN.
Management decisions
based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs
WLANs are easy to set up, manage,
change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from a
WLAN’s ease of implementation.
WLANs can operate in locations where
installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion
- Installing a WLAN system can
be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and
ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot
go-even outside the home or office.
Scalability
– WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the
needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily
changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number
of users to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or
thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.
