Wireless Local Connection (WLAN)
Basic WLAN elements are Network Cards and Access Points (WAP). The number of Aps depends on the size of the covered area. Network Cards ensure interface between the user's closing device and antenna that sends and receives dates to/from the Access Point. APs are the transmitters/receivers between Wireless and Cable Network. One of the advantages of Wireless is its mobility, facility and its enormous aerial access. Relating to its disadvantages it must be pointed out that it gives a lower safety level than solutions given by Cable Networks. Moreover sometimes the signal may be interfered and APs suggested by different producers may lead to incompatibility with the Network and Computer.
