ABSTRACT

Network managers can merely move the PC, without adding cable or testing its associated connections. This capability makes wireless networks a tempting alternative to cablebased ones.

network technologies. In addition to simplifying the move of networked PCs, they can also be less expensive to buy and build-over the lifetime of the LAN-than cabled LANs. The most obvious cost savings come from not needing to remove and install and test the cable. Their initial installation costs, however, are higher, since you must purchase the wireless transmission and reception electronics. Some wireless connections won't require building permits, as can be the case with large-scale cable installations. This feature can save additional time and money.
