Wireless LAN Solutions
The following list describes example applications of wireless LANs:
• Office networks - Business users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation in an office net-
work.
• Training/educational facilities - Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wire-
less connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
• Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks - Network managers in dynamic environments can min-
imize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
• Wired LAN backup - Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-
critical applications running on wired networks.
• Access to environments requiring real-time information - Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employ-
ees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers and processing information.
