Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

A WLAN is a series of interconnected computers that communicate with

each other over the air waves rather than through a network cable connected

to each computer. In a WLAN, a radio communications device called an

access point or wireless router connects network computers and provides

Internet, or network, access. The access point or wireless router and the

wireless network adapter in the computer or Tablet-PC communicate by

broadcasting data from their antennas over the air waves.
