Did You Know... How Wireless Networks Work
A wireless network or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) serves the same purpose as a wired one . to link a group of computers. Because "wireless" doesn't require costly wiring, the main benefit is that it's generally easier, faster and cheaper to set up.

IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops Local Area Network standards and Metropolitan Area Network standards.

Minimizing 802.11 Interference Issues
RF interference will continue to plague current and future 802.11b implementations unless an adequate site survey is conducted - preferably prior to actual network installation.

The BIG Question: 802.11a or 802.11b?
Both 802.11b and 802.11a have distinct merits and appropriate applications. A WLAN expert shows how to make the best decision for particular needs.
