Wireless networks save small businesses time and money. They install easily, expand quickly and reduce the costs of planning for and implementing a wired network. This makes dynamic moves, additions and changes easy to implement. Small businesses located in older buildings find that wireless LANs are a cost-effective, network infrastructure solution. Small businesses can set up a freestanding all-wireless network or they can integrate wireless LANs to extend an existing LAN. Some situations where a wireless network can benefit your business include the following:

• You know you will be moving offices soon and you want to take your network with you
• You want to add a few new employees to the network—easily.
• You want fast Internet access on your laptop in a conference room, a patient's room or an other place you do business.
• Your sales team wants to instantly connect their laptops to the Internet when they visit your office.
• You're in an old building that your landlord refuses to wire. You've got a traveling show that requires that computers talk to each other.
• You want to buy your PCs with networking already configured and tested.
