Introduction: Wireless
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. This kind of resource sharing has become more
prevalent as computer users have changed their habits from using
single, stand-alone computers to working on networks with multiple
computers, each with potentially different operating systems and varying
peripheral hardware. U.S. Robotics wireless networking products offer a
variety of solutions to seamlessly integrate computers, peripherals,
and data. Wireless networking enables the same capabilities and
comparable speeds of a wired 10BASE-T network without the difficulties
associated with laying wire, drilling into walls, or stringing Ethernet
cables throughout an office building or home. Laptop users have the
freedom to roam anywhere in the office building or home without having
to hunt down a connector cable or available jack. Every room in a
wireless home or office can be “connected” to the network, so adding
more users and growing a network can be as simple as installing a new
wireless network adapter. Reasons to choose wireless networking over
traditional wired networks include: · Running additional wires or
drilling new holes in a home or office could be prohibited (because of
rental regulations), impractical (infrastructure limitations), or too
expensive · Flexibility of location and data ports is required · Roaming
capability is desired; e.g., maintaining connectivity from almost
anywhere inside a home or business · Network access is desired outdoors;
e.g., outside a home or office building.
Wireless LANs in the Office: An
802.11 network is the ideal solution for a network administrator in
many respects. No longer is it a requirement that every workstation and
conference room be wired up to hubs and switches with cables in
hard-to-reach areas. Wireless networking allows for impromptu meetings
in cafeterias, hallways, courtyards, or wherever inspiration strikes
while providing real-time LAN connectivity for business applications
such as sending e-mail, working on spreadsheets on shared drives, and
conducting market research.
Wireless LANs in Home: The Wireless networking has become commonplace, and with prices reduced to a fraction of what they were, it is no wonder that wireless networking products have transitioned from the office and into the home. For the home user, a wireless network provides freedom in convenience and lifestyle to exchange words, data, and music or video with any computer across the Internet, or around the world. Home users can create a wireless network out of an existing wired network and wirelessly extend the reach of the Internet throughout the home on multiple computers, making it more convenient for everyone to get online.
