Wireless Networking Benefits
Wireless networking holds several benefits when compared to the fixed line or cable connections.
Places where it is used include:
- Hospitals, warehouses, hotels, schools and retail outlets as well as small businesses and open office systems.
- Laptop users within a corporate set-up, which makes it possible for the users to have network and online access without having to dock onto the network and thus provides them with more mobility in the office set-up.
- Companies which need to move offices on a regular basis due to contract work since there are no cable installations required.
- PDA users have the same benefits as laptop users.
