Wireless LAN

Wireless LANs enable network components to communicate with a network using radio waves as the transport medium. A wireless LAN can be connected as an extension to a wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a wireless network is the so-called cell. This is the area where the wireless communication takes place. A WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.

WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable complies with Standard 802.11g.
