Applications

Wireless LAN (WLAN) 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 WLANs:

• Difficult-to-Wire Environments : There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, orcannot be hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make theinstallation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be anetwork solution.
• Temporary Workgroups : Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building;auditoriums, amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where onewants either a permanent or temporary Wireless LAN established.
• The Ability to Access Real-Time Information : Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or WarehouseWorkers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processinginformation.
• Frequently Changing Environments:  Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: ShowRooms, Exhibits, etc.).
• Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks : SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quickinstallation of a small network.
• Training/Educational Facilities:  Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wirelessconnectivity to exchange information between peers and easily access information for learning purposes
