Wireless Network
Wireless network is a type of the
computer or telecommunication network in which networking
devices and nodes are interconnected with each other
without the use of wires. Most of the wireless networks
are based on the IEEE 802.11 and 802.11b standards.
These standards and covers the different types of
things such as transmission rates, MAC layer, framing,
operating frequencies, simple security mechanism (WEP)
and certain other types of things.

The wireless communication is carried out
with the remote transmission systems such as Radio waves
and electromagnetic waves as the information carriers. The
other wireless standard is 802.11e which covers the multimedia
applications such as streaming video and voice over IP.
The common types of the wireless network include Bluetooth,
WLAN, WMAN, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, GSM, irDA, GPRS, MMDS, CDPD and
wireless PAN. By using the wireless networks, computers
can communicate with each other over a very long distance.
In the wireless computer network, the
main components that are included are wireless LAN card,
wireless router and access points. There are certain types
of errors that can be occurred in a wireless network. Here
you will find the solutions of the different types of problems
in the wireless network. You will learn how to configure
a wireless network, how to troubleshoot a wireless router,
how to install wireless LAN card, wireless network security
and any other types of the problems.
Compatibility issues arises while deploying
the WLAN or WMAN because the components of the different
companies may not be compatible with each other so purchase
the hardware of the same vendor to avoid these types of
issues. The common vendors are Cisco, DLink, LinkSys, Lucent
and Nortel etc. There are different security vulnerabilities
and they can be covered by implementing a problem security
solution. The common security mechanisms are WEP, WPA and
the use of the firewall software or hardware.
