Local Area Network (LAN)
Both an EtherNet (wire) network and a wireless network are referred to
as a Local Area Network (LAN). A wireless network does not require
hubs, switchers, or routers to include additional users on the
network. Additional wireless users are sup****ted just by being in the
immediate physical span of the network.
