What is the advantage of Wireless Networking?
A. Wireless is not a technology to be adopted for its own sake. What does it bring to our daily tasks and to the balance sheet? Mobility – WLANs provide users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization. Portability and Accessibility (anytime, anywhere access) is key. WLANs encourage the growth of “hot spots,” which are areas outside of the office (or home) that allow users access to the company network or the Internet. Hot spots can be located in public places such as airports, restaurants, etc. Reliability – Fewer wires and connectors translates to fewer problems. The downtime due to cable faults in wired networks is eliminated. Ease of Installation – No expensive and time-consuming cable installations is required. No drilling or dropping cables through walls and ceilings. Wireless eliminates the time, expense and disruption associated with cable. Affordability – There are significant cost savings primarily as a result of lower cabling/installation costs. In a
