3.2.6 WLAN
A wireless local area network (WLAN) connects two or more computers or devices and
enables the devices to communicate by using the wireless telecommunication technology.
WLAN uses the wireless technology to implement fast Ethernet access. The primary
advantage of WLAN is that terminals, such as computers, can access a network through a
wireless medium rather than a physical cable. This facilitates network construction and allows
users to move around without interrupting communication. WLAN is more flexible than
traditional wired access.
WLAN is widely used in public areas such as on campuses, business centers, and airports.
The WLAN uses cables at the backbone layer, and users access the WLAN through one or
more access points (APs) using radio waves. The transmission distance of an AP is tens of
meters.
IEEE 802.11 is widely used by WLANs. The device can function as a Fat access point (FAT
AP). The device as the Fat AP supports 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n.
