Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can

access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving

customers and processing information.

d) Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where

frequently rearrange the workplace.

e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small

network.

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 or Educational facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless

connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and

learning.

Network Configuration

To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a

wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC

card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:

a) Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.

b) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode

This is the simplest network configuration with several computers

equipped with the Network Interface Cards that form a wireless network

whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each

client is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the

other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and

least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The

image below depicts a network in an ad-hoc mode.
