-Networking... without wires!
-
-Most commonly provided by
[802.11b
], which uses the 2.4GHz microwave band, designated for low-power unlicensed use by the FCC in the USA in 1985 (Reserved because 2.4GHz is the resonant frequency of water, and that's how a microwave oven works - 2.4GHz waves break bonds in water!).
-
-There are two primary modes an [802.11b] wlan can operate in: AdHoc
-(or peer-to-peer) mode, or Infrastructure mode. Infrastructure mode typically offers better security than AdHoc mode.
-
-802.11b AdHoc networking requires 2 or more computers, each with a wireless interface of some sort - [PCMCIA], [PCI], [ISA] or [USB]. Infrastructure mode also requires a BaseStation, such as an AccessPoint.
-
-You may also want to read about [FresnelZone], a phenomenon which occurs with long range(?) wireless links.
-
-[CRCnet] is a project that is setting up wireless networking between WaikatoUniversity and some remote schools. It is run by the WandGroup.
-They gave a presentation to [WLUG] about Wireless Networking - see [MeetingTopics.2003-06-23].
