A wireless form of data cabling, WLAN, is a data communication system that can be used as an extension, or as an alternative, to your data cabling. It uses electromagnetic waves to transmit and receive data, minimizing the need for wired connections. An important feature of the WLAN is that it can be used independently, linking multiple computers together without having to extend an existing wired network.

The benefits:

• More cost effective to install than data cabling
• A solution to adding new computers to an existing system
• Idea for small companies in rented office space as the WLAN system goes with you when you move.
