Overview
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is popular nowadays. Compared with wired LANs, WLANs are
easier and cheaper to implement because only one or several access points (APs) can provide wireless
access for an entire building or area. A WLAN does not necessarily mean that everything is wireless. The
servers and backbones still reside on wired networks. WLANs mainly provide the following services:
• Authentication and encryption to secure wireless access.
• Wireless access and mobility to free users from the restrictions of wires and cables.
