Different types of Wireless Networks and comparison of WLAN, WWAN and WMAN standards.

Wireless networks types can be noted as in two different kinds, one is wireless network by types connection and the other one is wireless networks by the geographical area of coverage. I have described the types of network by the connection below for the purpose of this assessment question.

  • Peer to peer network – This network allows wireless devices to directly communicate with the other devices. No intermediately devices are place to control or transmit wireless signals between devices. Mostly commonly two or many laptop intercommunicate with each other via wireless technology can be considered as peer to peer network.
  • Extension to a wired network – Extension point added to the wired network which act as a wireless relays.

  • Multiple access points – Multiple access points are attached to a wired network by the means of extending LAN with wireless. These networks communicate with wired network as well as wireless access points to fulfill corporate communication requirement.
  • LAN to LAN wireless network – This allows two wireless access points to interconnect two LAN segments via wireless communication. For instance, this will help to extend the corporate communication between two buildings of same organization via wireless technology.
