The emergence and continual growth of wireless networks are being driven by the need to lower the costs associated with network infrastructures and to support mobile networking applications that offer gains in process efficiency, accuracy, and lower business costs. The following sections explain the mobility and cost savings benefits of wireless networking. Mobility enables users to physically move while using an appliance, such as a handheld PC or data collector. Many jobs require workers to be mobile, such as inventory clerks, healthcare workers, policemen, and emergency care specialists. Of course, wireline networks require a physical tether between the user’s workstation and the network’s resources, which makes access to these resources impossible while roaming about the building or elsewhere.
