WIRELESS LAN

(wireless network- abbreviation = WLAN)

Your Notebook contains a Wireless LAN module of the type „Intel® Pro

Wireless Mini PCI“. This module allows you to set up a wireless-based

network, and to connect with an existing wireless network. It works

according to the IEEE802.11b+g standard.

WLAN technology allows users to set up wireless connections inside a

local area (e.g. in a company or campus building, or in a public building

such as an airport). WLANs can be used in temporary offices, in

locations where it is not possible to set up extensive cable installations,

or to extend an existing LAN so that users in different parts of a building

can work at different times.

There are two different ways to operate a WLAN.

In fixed WLANs, wireless stations (devices with radio network cards or

external modems) set up connections with wireless access points,

which act as bridges between the stations and the existing network

backbone. In Peer-to-Peer (ad hoc) WLANs several users can set up a

temporary network within a limited area such as a conference room,

without using access points, and providing there is no need to use

network resources.

In 1997 the IEEE confirmed the standard 802.11 for WLANs; this set a

data transfer rate of from 1 to 2 Mbit/s (Megabits per second). With

802.11b+g, the new governing standard, the maximum data transfer rate

is 54 Mbit/s over a frequency band of 2.4 GHz (Gigahertz).
