1.4 Advantages for Using Wireless Network

The Mini WLAN USB Adapter can wirelessly transmit and receive data, minimizing the need for wired connections, at speeds up to eleven megabits per second. With the 802.11b WLAN USB Adapter you can locate computers on your network anywhere without wires and cables.

The 802.11b WLAN USB Adapter provides LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization. The versatility of wireless devices provides freedom and productivity to users which would not be available under wired networks.

The Mini WLAN USB Adapter configuration is easy to switch between peer-to-peer networks, suitable for a small number of users, and full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow roaming around a broad area.

Therefore, you may see many advantages for adopting Wireless Networking as follows:

-Less Space Limits: The 802.11b WLAN USB Adapter provides access to network services without wires; therefore, it gives you more freedom to allocate and style your living and working space. In addition, in some areas where is hard or expensive to connect to wired networks, such as historic buildings, classrooms or mobile connectivity, then you can count on wireless networking.

-Flexible Workgroups and Lower Cost: For workspaces that are frequently reconfigured for temporarily use such as demo in exhibitions, wireless networking is easy to set up of lower total cost—and all equipments are recyclable. You do not have to remove the old wires and then build up the new ones again and again.

-Networked Conference Rooms: Users can access the network as they move from a meeting to another, getting the access to information/data and the ability to communicate decisions while “on the go”.

-Ad Hoc Networking: On site consulting and small workgroups may increase productivity with quick network setup and collaboration software.

-Branch office Networking: With an Access Point to bridge between the LAN and Internet, wireless networking provides an easy to install, use and maintain network for a remote or sales office.

-Campus-Wide Network Mobility: The roaming capabilities allow enterprise to set up easy to use wireless networks that cover the entire campus transparently.
