Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and

many applications made possible through the power and
exibilityofWLANs:
• Difcult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where
wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be hidden from
view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas
that make the installation of a Ethernet-based LAN impossible,

• The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses,
Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving
customers, and/or processing information.
• Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in
environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms,
Exhibits,etc.).
• Small Ofce and Home Ofce (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users
require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
• Wireless Extensions to Existing Ethernet-based Networks:
Devices like the EAP1750H enable network administrators,
installers, and end-users to extend the range and reach of an
existingEthernet-basednetwork.
• Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or
students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for
learning purposes.
