WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)
1. A WLAN is a wireless implementation of a LAN that allows users to move around with their device. WLANs provide the same connectivity features as a LAN, but usually at 11 Mbps for 802.11b; 54 Mbps for 802.11a. WLANs are commonly based on the 802.11 standard. WLANs enable users to quickly build a network of computers without installing cables, freeing them to move from place to place without losing connectivity.
