LAN (local area network)
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, wireless
LANs or WLANs transmit and receive data over the air,
minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, wireless
LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility.
WLANs are essentially networks that allow the transmission
of data and the ability to share resources, such as
printers, without the need to physically connect each
node, or computer, with wires. Wireless LANs offer
the productivity, convenience, and cost advantages
over traditional wired networks.
