D-Link DP-G310 — преимущества беспроводных сетей для дома и бизнеса [8/88]

Превью страниц Страница 8 / 88

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use

and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or

public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to

the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the

freedom that wireless networking brings.

A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives

data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home

and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and

universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work

and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling

and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same

protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Wireless Basics

People use wireless LAN 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 WLANs 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 topologies 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.

Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as

conventional Ethernet network devices.
