Wireless LAN’s
• Transmitting a signal using the typical
802.11 specifications works a lot like it
does with a basic Ethernet hub: They’re
both two-way forms of communication, and
they both use the same frequency to both
transmit and receive, often referred to as
half-duplex.
• Wireless LANs (WLANs) use radio
frequencies (RFs) that are radiated into
the air from an antenna that creates radio
waves.
