C/C/15. Wireless LANs vs. Cable LANs

IT/IS networks in firms have traditionally been connected through local area networks (LANs). However, these networks can now be provided without cables, known as wireless LANs (or WLAN for short). This report examines whether WLANs can replace cables within the workplace. It examines both the pros and cons of LANs and WLANs, as well as discussing the adventitious effects that WLANs can have in terms of cost savings and productivity increases as a result of the more flexible workplace that they create. This report would be useful for anyone interested in WLANs and LANs.
