1.6 APPLICATIONS
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes
some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
• Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older
buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either
impossible or very expensive.
• Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery,
temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established
and removed.
• The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time
information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
• Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently
rearrange the workplace.
• Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
• Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize 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.
• Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease
access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
1.7 NETWORK CONFIGURATION
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network,
it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations.
The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
• Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
