WLAN Equipment; Help Improve Network Performance by Inspecting Network Process

 

WLAN equipment help businesses or organizations to improve their network performance by inspecting each and every aspect of the network process. WLAN (wireless LAN) is a wireless network that links two or more devices to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a school, home, office building, campus, computer laboratory, etc. WLANs use high-frequency radio waves and allows users to move around the coverage area, often a small office or home, while maintaining a network connection. The demand for WLAN equipment is increasing due to the rising need for maintenance and optimized performance of the network.

A wireless LAN is simply a wireless internet connection that connects two or more computers using wireless transmission to form LAN within a given geographical area including a specific computer, wireless router, or access point. This technology allows users within the same LAN to connect to each other using wireless connections. The number of computers on a LAN will depend on the available bandwidth and the security of the connection. The best way to create a wireless LAN is by connecting each PC to its own wireless router or access point. The primary function of a WLAN is to provide LAN connection to computers within a specific area.

There are three types of wireless networks, such as wide area network (WAN), personal area network (PAN), and local area network (LAN). Moreover, both Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) and WLAN mean the same, they both refer to a wireless network that can transfer data at high speeds. However, unlike a traditional wired LAN, in which devices communicate over Ethernet cables, WLAN equipment communicate through Wi-Fi. Thus, with the increasing demand for cloud-based applications and increasing integration of Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for WLAN and WLAN equipment is also increasing with a rapid pace.

For example, in April 2019, Cisco Systems (US) launched new Wi-Fi 6 wireless networking access points for the enterprise, as well as new switches, developer resources, and ecosystem partnerships. Wi-Fi 6 employs IoT devices on a smaller network and provides benefits to many sectors such as education, retail, and hospitality. The key components of a wireless computer network include repeaters, antennas, adapters, and routers and access points.
