Wireless Network
Introduction
 What is Wireless
Network
Wireless Network
Computer networks that are not connected by cables
are called wireless networks.

Radio
Frequency
They generally use radio waves for communication
between the network nodes. They allow devices to be
connected to the network while roaming around
within the network coverage.

Wireless network allows to users get freedom to

move about specific range while connecting wireless
devices

 Local Area Network (LAN)

WLAN
WLAN stands for “Wireless Local Area Network“, and
it uses the radio waves. There is usually minimum
one cable that is defined as access point for
accessing internet, like as wired internet connection
going into a router, which then broadcasts the
wireless signal to other devices. WLAN allows to
connect local hardware resources and to the internet.
Range of WLAN can be defined about single room to
entire campus, office, and home with the using of
spread-spectrum or OFDM technologies.

 Wide Area Network (WAN)

WAN
it is used over wide area like as countries and cities
through various satellite systems such as cellular
service providers or antenna sites. This network
allows to users to make phone calls to another
connecting via wired or wireless WAN system. With
using of wireless WAN, all users are able to make
connection with internet to access all websites
otherwise others server based applications as well.

 Personal Area Network
(PAN)
WPAN
WPAN stands for “Wireless Personal Area Network“,
and these types of wireless network are used for
small areas (about 30 feet) to connect several
network devices (Laptop, Desktop, Mobile and more)
with using of Bluetooth, Infra Red (IR), and Zigbee
technology system.

Bluetooth allows to users to make hand-free call with

connecting mobile to earpieces, and it helps to
transmit all signals in between all smart devices.
Zigbee allows to connect stations along with IoT
network. Infrared technique is bound to line of sight
like as to make connection in between TV remotes to
televisions.

 Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN)
WMAN
WMAN stands for “Wireless metropolitan area
networks”, WMAN allows to connect various different
types of WLAN in metropolitan area like as different
buildings in a town.

A metropolitan-area network is a computer network

that spans across a city, small geographical area, or
business or college campus. One feature that
differentiates a MAN from a LAN is its size. A LAN
usually consists of a solitary building or area. A MAN
can cover several square miles, depending on the
needs of the organization.

Large companies, for example, may use a MAN if

they have a spacious campus and need to manage
key components, such as HVAC and electrical
systems.

Component of Wireless
Network
Client
What we tend to think of as the end user devices are
typically called ‘clients’.  As the reach of Wi-Fi has
expanded, a variety of devices may be using Wi-Fi to
connect the network, including phones, tablets,
laptops, desktops, and more. This gives users the
ability to move about the area without sacrificing
their bridge to the network. In some instances,
mobility within an office, warehouse, or other work
area is necessary.

Access Point / Router

An access point (AP) consists of a Wi-Fi that is
advertising a network name (known as a Service Set
Identifier, or SSID). Users who connect to this
network will typically find their traffic bridged to a
local-area network (LAN) wired network (like Ethernet)
for communication to the larger network or even the
internet.

 How does Wireless Network Work ?

04/17/2022
 Benefits of Wireless
Network 1. It provides clutter-free desks due to the absence of
wires and cables.
2. It increases the mobility of network devices
connected to the system since the devices need
not be connected to each other.
3. Accessing network devices from any location
within the network coverage or Wi-Fi hotspot
becomes convenient since laying out cables is not
needed.
4. Installation and setup of wireless networks are
easier.
5. New devices can be easily connected to the
existing setup since they needn’t be wired to the
present equipment. Also, the number of equipment
that can be added or removed to the system can
vary considerably since they are not limited by the
cable capacity. This makes wireless networks very
scalable.
6. Wireless networks require very limited or no wires.
Thus, it reduces the equipment and setup costs.

 Exercise 1
1. Pilih salah satu diantara tipe jaringan nirkabel (wireless network) yang sudah
dijelaskan sebelumnya (LAN, WAN, PAN, MAN). Buatlah arsitektur tersebut dan
simulasikan di cisco packet tracer !
2. Lakukan pengecekan pada device yang digunakan, apakah sudah terkoneksi dengan
jaringan wireless atau belum !
3. Kumpulkan di Spada, paling lambat tanggal jam
4. File yang dikumpulkan :
1. Screenshot arsitektur jaringan
2. Screenshot ping device
3. File cisco packet tracer .pkt
