1.5Applications
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
a)Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b)Temporary workgroups

SOHO users need a
f)Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
g)Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission- critical applications running on wired networks.
h)Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.
