5.1.2 What You Need to Know

Wireless Basics

“Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and

receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one

another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information

with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking devices operate

at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to use. However,

wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in that there a

number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data encryption.

Guest WLAN

Guest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via the LTE4506

(Z), but not other networks connected to the Z. In the following figure, a guest user can access the

Internet from the guest wireless network A via Z but not the home or company network N.

Note: The home or company network N and Guest WLAN network are independent networks.
