1.5 Applications
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
Considersituationsinparks,athleticarenas,exhibitioncenters,disaster‐
recovery,temporaryofficesandconstructionsiteswhereonewantsa
temporaryWLANestablishedandremoved.

c) Theabilitytoaccessreal‐timeinformation
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.
