Introduction
Wireless LAN technology is becoming increasingly popular for a wide variety of applications.
Its reliability and performance makes it possible to create large-scale and complex wireless networks. Originally designed for indoor office applications, today’s Wireless LANs can be used for both indoor peer-to-peer networks as well as for outdoor point-to-point and point-to-multipoint remote bridging applications. Wireless LANs can be designed to be modular and very flexible.

The advantages of wireless networking are:
- freedom of movement
- easy and fast installation
- flexible

Wireless LAN Topology
The Wireless LAN is based on a cellular architecture where the system is subdivided into cells. Each cell is controlled by a Base Station called "Access Point". For smaller networks, a single cell is large enough. A single cell can also work without Access Point.
Some examples are given below.

For connecting two or more individual computers with each other, each computer needs a PCI, PCMCIA or USB wireless device. If there is no wired network, no Access Point is needed.

Peer-to-peer network

For connecting one computer wireless to a wired network, the computer needs a Wireless PCI, PCMCIA or USB device. An Access Point needs to be connected to the hub or witch from the wired network. One access point support 15 to 50 clients.

Client and access point

For connecting two seperate wired networks, a bridge need to be installed on each network.

Wireless Access Point: The Access Point Connects wireless devices to a wired network.
Wireless Bridge: Connects a wired network to another wired network

Long-range network links
We provide special equipment for long range wireless links. This is a perfect solution for teleworking and for connecting office-branches with each other.
The distance can be up to 5 kilometer. Line of sight is required, especially for long distance wireless links.

For links up to 3500meter, a speed of 11Mbps is available. For longer links, the speed can fallback to 5.5 Mbps.
Call us for free information and advice about your application!

Operating systems and protocols
Our Wireless LAN products are compatible with the WiFi standard. This means the products are compatible with other brand wireless network devices.

All different kinds of network protocols can be used. The Wireless cards also supports Linux.
