It is a type of technology that allows you to express yourself anywhere, anytime toward achieving a greater level of communication. The objective in this paper is to become familiar with the concept of wireless technology. Various topics are covered to include Wireless history, standards, basic principles, regulatory change, and global implications. Wireless History There was a time when you could easily count all the men in the country who even pretended to know anything about wireless. No one of the few who were working with wireless then, knew whether a set carefully put together would work at all or how far the signals could be heard.

Tom Fout in his paper titled Wireless LAN Technologies and Windows XP reports that the availability of wireless networking and wireless LANs can extend the freedom of a network user, solve various problems associated with hard-wired networks and even reduce network deployment costs in some cases. Why a Wireless LAN? Fout elaborates that high-speed wireless LANs can provide the benefits ...
