Wireless In Structured Cabling Systems
What Is “Wireless”? Wireless uses radio frequency
transmission to connect to the user - in effect replacing
patchcords, allowing the final connection to be done over
the radio link. Wireless allows the user to roam
unencumbered by cabling within the service area covered.
There are numerous types of wireless networks in common
use. No corporate network can probably be built
without wireless today. But “wireless” is not “wireless” -
it requires connecting wireless antennas into the rest of
the premises network and that's what this lesson is all
about.
