Yes, wireless networking is safe when all access points are properly secured.


 

  

Wireless Networking

In the simplest terms, a wireless local-area network (WLAN) does exactly what the name implies: it provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies such as Ethernet and Token Ring without the limitations of wires or cables. Connectivity no longer implies attachment; local areas are measured in miles or kilometers, not feet or meters. An infrastructure need not be buried in the ground or hidden behind the walls – an “infrastructure” can move and change at the speed of the organization. This technology has several immediate applications, including:
  • Mobility within the enterprise, perhaps in addition to a traditional network
  • Flexibility for frequent LAN wiring changes, either throughout the site or in selected areas
  • Useable in a site that is not conducive to LAN wiring, either due to building or budget limitations
Flexibility and cost savings offered by a line-of-sight, building-to-building bridge to avoid expensive trenches, leased lines, or right-of-way issues.

Current vertical markets include: education, finance, health care, hospitality and retail, and manufacturing and industrial.

Fundamental Components of our Wireless Local Area Network Service:
 
  In-Building WLANs
WLAN technology can take the place of a traditional wired network or extend its reach and capabilities. Much like their wired counterparts, in-building WLAN equipment consists of PC Card, Personal Computer Interface (PCI), and Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) client adapters, as well as access point which perform functions similar to wired networking hubs.
 
  Building-to-Building WLANs
In much the same way that a commercial radio signal can be picked up in many weather conditions miles from its transmitter, WLAN technology applies the power of radio waves to redefine the “local” in LAN. With a wireless bridge, networks located in buildings miles apart can be integrated into a single local-area network.
