ThewirelessLANproductsareeasytoinstallandhighlyefficient.Thefollowinglistdescribessomeof

themany

applications

made

possible

through

the

power

and

flexibility

of

wireless

LANs:

a) DifficulttowireenvironmentsThere are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older

buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either

impossibleorveryexpensive.

b) TemporaryworkgroupsConsider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disasterrecovery,

temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN

establishedandremoved.

c) TheabilitytoaccessrealtimeinformationDoctors/nurses,pointofsaleemployees, andwarehouseworkerscanaccessrealtime

informationwhile

dealing

with

patients,

serving

customers

and

processing

information.

d) FrequentlychangingenvironmentsShow rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently

e) WirelessextensionstoEthernetnetworksNetwork managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by

moves,extensionstonetworks,andotherchangeswithwirelessLANs.

f) WiredLANbackupNetwork managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for missioncritical

applicationsrunningonwirednetworks.

g) Training/EducationalfacilitiesTraining sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to

easeaccess

Wireless Mode: Depending on the type of wireless clients that are connected to the network,

you may select B, G or B/Gmixed or SuperG. If you are not sure about which clients will be

accessing the wireless networks, it is recommended that you select B/Gmixed for the best

performance.
