Wireless LAN's Mean Business
Wireless LAN's are a very effective way to connect
PC's. They are easy to install and scale quickly, making a wireless
network a dynamic system that is no longer tied down by wires. Moves,
additions and changes are easy to implement. A freestanding wireless
LAN provides flexibility that cannot be achieved with a wired network.
Smaller organizations may find that a wireless network can take the
place of a wired network. Larger organizations typically use a
wireless LAN as an overlay network to their existing wired LAN. It
becomes an enhancement network not a replacement network.
Wireless networks expand quickly and reduce the cost of setting
up and maintaining a LAN:
 |
Whole office moves can be
accomplished quickly; just take your system with you.
|
 |
Add new workstations within
minutes. No need to contract with a wiring company to install
Ethernet cabling just to add new users.
|
 |
Share fast Internet connections
where they are needed. Bring the computers to the employees, not
the employees to the computers.
|
 |
Laptops are meant to be mobile and
portable. A wireless connection leverages the primary reason for
having laptops.
|
 |
The cost of building a network in
an old or historic building is oftentimes less for a wireless
network.
|
 |
Laptop users can form Ad Hoc
networks among themselves, even when traveling on the road.
|
Wireless networks can also be set up as bridges to
connect buildings to other buildings. In a campus environment, these
links may be just a few hundred feet away. Wireless bridges can also
be designed to link buildings at distances of 10 to 15 miles or more.
Because these links use license-free microwave spectrum, the costs of
establishing a wireless bridge is typically far less than that spent
on Frame Relay or T-1 lines.
