Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) - Definition

WLAN stands for “Wireless Local Area Network” and describes a wireless network that is usually used in a limited geographical area, e.g. in homes, offices or companies.

It enables wireless connectivity for computers, smartphones or other electronic devices to communicate with each other and provide access to the internet or local network resources. WLANs are based on wireless technologies and the IEEE 802.11 standard and use WAPs (Wireless Access Points) to provide wireless signals and manage wireless traffic. They also offer flexibility and mobility as users can move freely within the network area without being tethered to physical connection cables.

WLANs are used in various environments, such as corporate networks, home networks, educational institutions and many more. They play an important role as they enable wireless connectivity and are an essential part of modern communication and networking. WLAN ensures that people can access information and resources regardless of their location.
