Features of the Wireless Network
In general, the operation of a wireless network is the same as for other similar types of LAN. The most
prominent feature of the wireless network is that it uses radio waves as its medium, eliminating the need
for cabling. The wireless network thus requires no cabling cost and has other advantages as listed
below:
- Quick construction of a LAN
- Temporary installation of a LAN
- Higher flexibility in layout of connected PCs (terminals)
- Assured mobility of connected PCs (terminals)
On the other hand, the wireless network has the following drawbacks from the operational point of view
due to the nature of radio waves
:
- Signal attenuation
- Signal interference
Also, although this product does not require a radio license, it is subject to radio regulations of each
country.
