At Logiscenter, we pride ourselves on being leaders in mobility and automatic identification, working closely with top manufacturers of RF wireless infrastructure. This collaboration ensures we provide excellent quality service alongside the most favorable economic conditions. If you're considering setting up your own Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), our technical team is here to assist you in implementing it comfortably and securely in your business.



Understanding RF Infrastructures and Access Points:

A wireless LAN is a local wireless network that enables communication between two or more devices using radio waves. For this to be possible, all these devices need to be located in the same area, whether it be in a warehouse, office, or building.

Unlike Local Area Networks (LAN), wireless infrastructures don't require cables, twisted pairs, or fiber optics for connecting different devices. In this case, the transmission medium is usually air, as Wi-Fi technology is commonly used. The coverage of these networks can range from something as simple as 10 meters to distances of 100 meters.

These wireless networks are standardized by the IEEE 802.11 transmission standards, defining and specifying the proper functioning of these types of connections, among the wireless LANs offered by Logiscenter.

An important distinction to note is between Wi-Fi networks and WLANs. While Wi-Fi networks fall under the category of WLAN, not all wireless local networks have to be Wi-Fi. The latter adhere to the same standards but also include additional rules for their use and application in the market. In other words, WLANs can be used in any sector and wireless technology, while Wi-Fi is a specific technology for creating WLANs.



Advantages of WLANs in Business:


The main advantage of these networks is the elimination of cables, facilitating device connectivity. Thus, electronic devices like tablets, smartphones, and computers can be interconnected wirelessly and at a distance. WLANs support a large number of devices, so your business won't face any limitations in connectivity.

This wireless network solution has become the most economical and simple option in both business and private settings. Additionally, if a broader range is needed, various repeaters can be added to ensure stable and quality connectivity.



RF Wireless Infrastructure Components Offered by Logiscenter:


The physical architecture of a WLAN consists of wireless RF access points and wireless switches, such as wireless network cards or the aforementioned repeaters.

All these components are essential for implementing your own WLAN in your business. Below, we'll look in more detail at each of them and the different functions they serve within this straightforward architecture.


RF Access Points:


RF access points are wireless devices with antennas that receive and transmit data from one electronic device to another. They act as a bridge between different networks, allowing continuous connectivity.

Common wireless routers are part of these access points. Although multiple wireless connections can be managed, the more devices connected to the same point, the slower the connection speed. To avoid this, Logiscenter's technical team recommends using more than one access point within the company.
