A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a flexible data communication system that substitutes or extends a Wired Local Area Network (WAN). WLANs use transreceivers (a transmitter/receiver) that are linked to 'access points', and are integrated with the local wired LAN. Access points are essentially antennae or repeaters, installed into the end-user device, extending the distance between the wireless end-users and the transceiver. End-user devices (PDAs, mobile devices, laptops, etc) access the WLAN via these access points.
WLANs transmit information through the use of electromagnetic waves (radio or infrared) at a defined frequency. WLANs and associated devices conform to the IEEE 802.11 standards for safe wireless transmissions.
