Wireless Basics

Wireless networking uses electromagnetic radio frequency waves to transmit and receive data. Communication occurs by establishing radio links between the wireless access point and devices configured to be part of the WLAN.

The WAB-1000 incorporates the 802.11b/g standard and the most state of the art encryption for a very powerful and secure wireless environment.
