1 Integrated wireless devices

Wireless technology makes a computer mobile by transferring data across radio waves instead of wires.

Your computer may be equipped with one or more of the following integrated wireless devices:

● Bluetooth® device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled

devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each

device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—

typically within 33 feet of each other.

● Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the computer to wireless local area

networks (commonly referred to as wireless networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate

offices, your home, and public places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and

universities. In a WLAN, each mobile wireless device communicates with a wireless access point,

which can be several hundred feet away.

● Wireless wide area network (WWAN) device—Provides access to information anytime and

anywhere you have cellular (data) coverage. In a WWAN, each mobile device communicates to a

public carrier’s base station. Public carriers install networks of base stations (similar to cell phone

towers) throughout large geographic areas, effectively providing coverage across entire states,

regions, or even countries.
