Topic > Wireless LAN Connections as an Alternative to Networking...

INTRODUCTION Wireless LAN is an option for network cables that you may use to connect your computers at home or in the office. Different variants are available such as HomeRF, various so-called Standards IEEE 802.11 (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers), LAN (Local Area Network) over DECT, Bluetooth, etc. If you need to buy a wireless LAN now, choose one of the 802.11b (cheaper, but less secure) or 802.11g (slightly more expensive, but faster and more secure) variants. Wireless LAN is sometimes called WiFi, however, WiFi also has a WECA certification. It "guarantees" that devices comply with the standard. The data transfer speed varies from 1 Mbps (Bluetooth) up to 54 Mbps (802.11g and 802.11a). For normal Internet use, 1 Mbps should be sufficient. Copying larger files between two PCs and/or servers takes a little longer (depends on patience). For multimedia purposes (video streaming), 11 Mbps should be OK. Keep in mind, however, that most WiFi solutions only achieve half of the "claimed" speeds!PROBLEM STATEMENTProblem StatementOverviewAs with wired LAN systems; Actual throughput in the WLAN depends on the product and configuration. Factors that affect throughput are the number of users, diffusion factors such as distance and multipath, the type of WLAN system used, as well as hibernation and bottlenecks on the wireless parts of the LAN. Throughput should be defined as the ratio of the expected payload of delivered data to the expected transmission time. It is the percentage of do-not-divert data packets received without errors. Additionally, most voice and video applications prefer very small payload sizes to ensure reliable service delivery with minimal delay. Productivity is what the user… middle of the paper… state is over. As you can see, there are different results in the Mbps column on both sides. It is because both sides have different speed for bits per second. You can also save the result by clicking the Print button to refer to it next time. CONCLUSION The conclusions that can be drawn from this speed testing report are that: Accuracy is only as good as the ability of the testing application to provide the details that validate the test results. Not all speed testers are common and should not be compared unless differences in their methodology are taken into account. The results of a speed tester should proclaim the method used to conduct the test, otherwise the results are meaningless. The test method must coordinate with the application profile to be useful when evaluating the performance expectations of that application.
