Basic FAQ
1. What is a Wireless LAN ?
Wireless LANs provide all the functionality of wired LANs, without the need for physical connections
(wires). Data is modulated onto a radio frequency carrier and transmitted through the ether. Typical bit-
rates are 11Mbps and 54Mbps, although in practice data throughput is half of this. Wireless LANs can
be formed simply by equipping PC's with wireless NICs. If connectivity to a wired LAN is required an
Access Point (AP) is used as a bridging device. AP's are typically located close to the centre of the
wireless client population.
2. What are the advantages of Wireless LANs ?
a. Mobility:
Wireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their
organization. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not possible with wired
networks.
b. Installation Speed and Simplicity:
