Introduction :

Introduction W ireless technology has helped to simplify networking by enabling multiple Computer users to simultaneously share resources in a home or business without additional or intrusive wiring. These resources might include a broadband Internet connection, network printers, data files, and even streaming audio and video.

Wireless LAN advantages :

Wireless LAN advantages • Flexibility: within radio coverage, nodes can communicate without further restriction. Radio waves can penetrate walls. • Planning: wireless ad hoc networks allow for communication without planning. Wired networks need wiring plans. • Robustness: wireless networks can survive disasters, if the wireless devices survive people can still communicate

Wireless LAN disadvantages :

Wireless LAN disadvantages • QoS: WLANs offer typically lower QoS. Lower bandwidth due to limitations in radio transmission (1-10 Mbit/s) and higher error rates due to interference. • Cost: Ethernet adapter vs. wireless LAN adapters • Proprietary solutions: slow standardization procedures lead to many proprietary solutions only working in an homogeneous environment • Safety and security: using radio waves for data transmission might interfere with other high-tech equipment

Conclusion :

Conclusion W ireless LAN provide high speed data communication. The minimum data rate specified by the IEEE Project 802.11 is 1Mbps. NCR's wave LAN operates at 2Mbps, while Motorola's ALTAIR operates at 15Mbps.  Because of their limited mobility and short transmission range, wireless LANs can be used in confined areas such as a conference room. In the U.S, almost all WLANs products use spread spectrum transmission. Therefore they transmit information on the ISM band. But with this frequency band, users can experience interference from other sources using this band.
