Wireless Local Area Network. A wireless LAN is a data communications system providing wireless peer-to-peer (PC-to-PC, PC-to-hub, or printer-to-hub) and point-to-point (LAN-to-LAN) connectivity within a building or campus. In place of TP or coaxial wires or optical fiber as used in a conventional LAN, WLANs transmit and receive data over electromagnetic waves. WLANs perform traditional network communications functions such as file transfer, peripheral sharing, e-mail, and database access as well as augmenting wired LANs. WLANs must include NICs (adapters) and access points (in-building bridges), and for campus communications building-to-building (LAN-LAN) bridges.
Wireless LAN. A local area network that transmits over the air typically in an unlicensed frequency such as the .4GHz band. A wirel2ess LAN does not require lining up devices for line of sight transmission like IrDA. Wireless access points (base stations) are connected to an Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls and other non-metal barriers. Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another like a cellular phone system. Laptops use wireless modems that plug into an existing Ethernet port or that are self contained on PC cards, while stand-alone desktops and servers use plug-in cards (ISA, PCI, etc.).
Wireless Local Area Network. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data wirelessly in a certain area. This allows users in a small zone to transmit data and share resources, such as printers, without physically connecting each computer with cords or wires.
A wireless LAN where connected devices communicate via radio waves on a specific frequency. Individual access stations don’t require line-of-sight connection or wiring, but the backbone itself usually employs cables to a variety of centralized transmission/reception points. Many hotels and airports now employ WLANs.

Wireless Local Area Network. A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to or as an alternative for a wired LAN. With WLANs, users can access shared information without looking for a place to plug in. Wireless LAN systems provide WLAN users access to real-time information anywhere in their organization at work, at home and on road. WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility through simplified configuration.

Wireless Local Area Network. A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among the network clients and devices. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. Just like a LAN, the network lets users at that location share files, printers and other services.
