Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use an
compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public acces
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 networkin
brings.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receive
data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home an
office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities
Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicat
more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixe
infrastructure have proven to be beneficial to many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireles
adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols a
ter cards.
People use WLA
urposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location
within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-tim
information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change an
relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease o
implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may b
impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast an
easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireles
technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home o
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 o
specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and rang
from Peer-to-Peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger Infrastructur
networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the numbe
of wireless devices deployed.
