Faster data transfer within businesses and between customers and partners results from improved data communication. This allows salespeople, for example, to check stock levels and prices while on the road.
Fremont, CA: A wireless device establishes a two-way communication link using radio waves or infrared light, whereas a wired network employs a data link and a physical layer. Less wiring means more flexibility, greater efficiency, and lower wiring costs. Wireless networks provide advantages to organizations and users, including portability, greater productivity, and lower installation costs. Wireless technologies have a very broad coverage range, which is very useful for users depending on their use.
Advantages of Wireless
Improved Efficiency – Faster data transfer within businesses and between customers and partners results from improved data communication. This allows salespeople, for example, to check stock levels and prices while on the road.
Better Coverage and Mobility – Wires tether one to a specific location. Going wireless allows one to move around without losing one's connection and eliminates the requirement for additional cables or adaptors to connect to office networks.
Cost Savings – Wireless networks can be less costly and easier to set up, particularly in historic buildings or where the landlord refuses to enable cable installation. The absence of wires and cables lowers the cost. This is accomplished through a combination of factors, including the low cost of wireless routers, the absence of the need for drilling, trenching, and feeding wires inside walls, or other physical connection methods. Moreover, there is no need for wire maintenance.
Flexibility – Wireless office workers can be networked without the need for a dedicated computer to work constructively while away from the office. This could result in new working styles, such as working from home or directly accessing corporate data while on a customer's premises.
