Exploring Wireless Technologies

Overview Providing an overview of the key technologies and applications of wireless networking, this white paper provides a step-by-step description of how wireless local area networks (WLANs) work. The keystone to a wireless LAN is the cell. The cell is the area where all wireless communication takes place. In general a cell covers a more-or-less circular area. Within each cell there are radio traffic management units also known as Access Points (repeaters). The Access Point in turn interconnects cells of a wireless LAN and also connects to a wired Ethernet LAN through some sort of cable connection.
