Wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. Wireless LAN's are expected to be a major growth factor for communication networks in the up-coming years. They are expected to provide a transparent connection for mobile hosts to communicate with other mobile hosts, and wired hosts on the wired LAN and broadband networks.

A wireless local area network (LAN) is a flexible data
communications system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. Using radio frequency(RF) technology, wireless LANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility.WLAN’s are expected to be a major growth factor for communication networks in the up-coming years. They are expected to provide a transparent connection for mobile hosts to communicate with other mobile hosts, and wired hosts on the wired LAN and broadband networks. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local coverage area and still be connected to the network. Wireless LANs have become popular in the home due to ease of installation, and the increasing popularity of laptop computers.
