Wireless LAN Overview 
The wireless LAN is a new way to extend the reach of local area networks (LAN). Instead 
of plugging into a LAN wall outlet, you connect wirelessly to a wireless LAN access point. 
All you need is a wireless LAN card for the user and a wireless LAN access point 
connected to the Ethernet LAN. This enables truly wireless access to the LAN and the 
Internet. Wireless LAN users can enjoy the freedom of being automatically connected to 
the LAN and of mobile computing without any attached cables. Wireless LAN is fast and 
convenient: no more cables or searching for LAN outlets.
