I-WLAN ingachazwa kokubili ngomqondo obanzi nangomqondo omncane:
Ngokombono omncane, sichaza futhi sihlaziye i-WLAN ngazo zombili izinzwa ezibanzi neziwumngcingo.
Ngomqondo obanzi, i-WLAN iyinethiwekhi eyenziwe ngokushintsha enye noma yonke imidiya yokudlulisa ye-LAN enezintambo ngamaza omsakazo, njenge-infrared, laser, njll.
Ngomqondo omncane, lena i-LAN engenantambo esekelwe kumazinga ochungechunge lwe-IEEE 802.11, esebenzisa amaza omsakazo wefrikhwensi ephezulu ukudlulisa amasignali, njengamaza kagesi angenantambo kubhendi ye-2.4GHz noma 5GHz ISG, njengendawo yokudlulisela.
Inethiwekhi ye-WLAN esebenzisa amazinga we-IEEE 802.11 imi kanje:
Ekuthuthukisweni nasekuthuthukisweni kwe-WLAN, kunezindinganiso eziningi zobuchwepheshe zokuqaliswa kwayo, njenge-Bluetooth, uchungechunge lwe-802.11, i-HyperLAN2, njll. Izinga le-802.11 lochungechunge selibe indinganiso yobuchwepheshe eyinhloko ye-WLAN ngoba kulula ukuyisebenzisa, inokwethenjelwa. ukuxhumana, kuyavumelana nezimo, futhi akubizi kakhulu ukukusebenzisa. Izinga lochungechunge lwe-802.11 liphinde lisetshenziswe njengegama elifanayo lezinga lobuchwepheshe le-WLAN.
Njengoba kukhonjisiwe emfanekisweni ongezansi, kungaqondwa kalula njengokubukezwa komqondo wemisebenzi ye-WiFi.
Okungenhla yincazelo yolwazi ye-WLAN enikezwe i-Shenzhen Haidiwei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. I-Shenzhen Haidiwei Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. ingumkhiqizi onguchwepheshe bemishini yokuxhumana ebonakalayo.imikhiqizo.
