1.1Benefits

ThefollowinglistdescribesthedesignoftheM35madepossiblethroughthepowerandflexibilityof

wirelessLANs:



a) Difficult‐to‐wireenvironments

There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older

buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either

impossibleorveryexpensive.

b) Temporaryworkgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster‐recovery,

temporaryofficesandconstructionsiteswhereonewantsatemporaryWLANestablished

andremoved.

c) Theabilitytoaccessreal‐timeinformation

Doctors/nurses, point‐of‐sale employees, and warehouse work ers can access real‐time

informationwhiledealingwithpatients,servingcustomersandprocessinginformation.

d) Frequentlychangedenvironments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently

rearrangetheworkplace.

e) WirelessextensionstoEthernetnetworks

Networkmanagersindynamicenvironmentscanminimize theoverheadcausedbymoves,

extensionstonetworks,andotherchangeswithwirelessLANs.

f) WiredLANbackup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission‐critical

applicationsrunningonwirednetworks.

g) Training/Educationalfacilities
