Is 802.11b RF technology safe? As with other wireless technologies, WLANs must meet stringent
government and industry standards for safety. There have been concerns raised across a number of
wireless technology industries regarding the health risks of wireless use. To date, scientific studies have
been unable to attribute adverse health effects to WLAN transmissions. In addition, the output power of
wireless LAN systems is limited by FCC regulations to under 100 mW, much less than that of a mobile
phone.
Other than WEP, what other security features are available? ESSID (often called SSID) For the
access control, the ESSID (also known as a WLAN Service Area ID) is programmed into each access
point and is required knowledge in order for a wireless client to associate with an access point. An
identification value called ESSID is programmed into each access point to identify which subnet it is
on. This can be used as an authentication check; if a station does not know this value, it is not allowed
to associate with the access point. Normal LAN Security 802.11b RF networks support the same
security standards supported by other 802 LANs for access control (such as network operating system
logins) and encryption (such as IPSec or application-level encryption). These higher-layer technologies
can be used to create end-to-end secure networks encompassing both wired LAN and WLAN
components, with the wireless piece of the network gaining unique additional security from the 802.11
feature set.
