Wireless networking and mobile computing
Wireless local area network (LAN) and mobile computing systems
offer a flexible data communications network, either extending
or replacing a wired LAN. Using radio frequency (RF) technology,
wireless LANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing
the need for wired connections, combining data connectivity
with user mobility.
Wireless LANs are popular in a number of vertical markets,
including retail and warehousing and are becoming more widely
recognised as a general-purpose connectivity alternative for
a broad range of business customers.
Why use mobile computing technologies?
- Mobility: Wireless LAN’s provide access to real-time
information anywhere in the organisation, increasing productivity
and service opportunities not possible with wired networks.
- Installation Speed and Simplicity: Installing a wireless
LAN system is fast and easy and eliminates the need to pull
cable through walls and ceilings.
Installation Flexibility: Wireless technology allows the
network to go where wire cannot go.
- Reduced Cost-of-Ownership: While the initial investment
required for mobile computing hardware can be higher than
the cost of wired hardware, overall installation expenses
and life-cycle costs can be significantly lower. Long-term
cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments requiring
frequent moves and changes.
- Scalability: Wireless systems can be configured in a variety
of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications
and installations. Configurations are easily changed and
range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number
of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of
users that enable roaming over a broad area.
