What is wireless networking?
The term wireless networking refers to technology that enables two or more computers to communicate using standard network protocols, but without network cabling. Strictly speaking, any technology that does this could be called wireless networking. The current buzzword however generally refers to wireless LANs. This technology, fuelled by the emergence of cross-vendor industry standards such as IEEE 802.11, has produced a number of affordable wireless solutions that are growing in popularity with business and schools as well as sophisticated applications where network wiring is impossible, such as in warehousing or point-of-sale handheld equipment. • What is a wireless network made up of? There are two kinds of wireless networks: • An ad-hoc, or peer-to-peer wireless network consists of a number of computers each equipped with a wireless networking interface card. Each computer can communicate directly with all of the other wireless enabled computers. They can share files and printers
Wireless networking is a technology that allows computers to communicate using standard network protocols without the use of any cables or phone lines. The wireless services provided by Four Seasons Wireless uses the recent industry standard of IEEE 802.11, which is supported by manufacturers and vendors. This technology provides affordable wireless solutions for businesses and residents. It also provides the ability to deploy a networking infrastructure or internet connection in locations where these tasks would otherwise be impossible. 802.11 Technologies provide speeds greater than that found in typical broadband connections such as Cable and DSL.

Wireless networking, sometimes referred to as Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), is a standard networking technology available to mobile devices such as laptops, hand-held PDAs, and certain mobile phones. Sacramento State provides wireless networking to students, faculty, or staff members with a valid SacLink account.
