ABSTRACT
A wireless local area network (WLAN) that is based on the 802.11 series o f standards provides a local data transmission network environment that offers high-speed con nectivity to any compatible wireless-enabled networked device. A WLAN solution can add actual benefits to the organization that it serves. Benefits that include: cost reduc tion in areas where network cabling is difficult or expensive; flexibility to add to or make changes in the networking ecosystem with no extra cabling costs; duplicate networks, i.e. you can have mobile networks with no need of new cabling structures for new work lines; and efficiency and productivity increase by allowing employee mobility within the work facilities.
