Resource summary

Wireless LANs
  1. Radio Frequencies
    1. WLAN product vendors must follow rules about the waveforms that its WLAN products send
      1. FCC help everyone who wants to communicate get a long a little better
        1. Emitted EM energy creates noise that can interfere with devices like WLAN clients and APs
        2. Wireless LANs
          1. Supports devices that are nearby
            1. Provides a LAN edge connection in an enterprise where the user devices sit, at the edge of the network
              1. Coverage area is a concept which defines the space around the access point in which it should be able to communicate with other devices
              2. Features
                1. All the WLAN NICs have a unique MAC address
                  1. All the frames used over the wireless links use the same format
                    1. Management and control frames do not carry user data, but instead perform functions important to the wireless LAN
                    2. Wireless LAN Standards
                      1. The first standard is simply called 802.11 with frequencies around 2.4GHz and a maximum speed of 2Mbps
                        1. The Wi-Fi Alliance tests products to make sure that they work well with other WLAN products
                          1. Each transmission standard defines a maximum speed, but also defines a large number of other features
