What are the benefits of using a WLAN instead of a wired network connection?
Increased Productivity – WLAN provides “untethered”, campus-wide network and Internet access. WLAN offers the freedom to roam and stay connected. • Fast and Simple Network Set-up – There are no cables to install. • Installation Flexibility – WLANs can be installed in places where wires can’t, and they facilitate temporary set-up and relocation. • Reduced Cost-of-Ownership – Wireless LANS reduce installation costs because there is no cabling; as a result, savings are greatest in frequently changing environments. • Scalability – Network expansion and reconfiguration is uncomplicated, and users can be added to the network simply by installing a wireless LAN adapter to the client device. • Interoperability – Customers can rest assured that other brands of compatible client and network-sided products will work with superior HP solutions.
