D-Link DWL-810+ [8/29] Wireless basics

Wireless Basics

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, both physically and logically,

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 install cable through walls and

ceilings. Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot

go - even outside the home or office.

Inexpensive Solution – Wireless network devices are as competitively

priced as conventional Ethernet network devices.

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 full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow

roaming over a broad area.
