Wireless local area network service

SaskTel Wireless local area network (WLAN) services provide a flexible communication solution that can extend your existing network and mobilize your work force.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a flexible communication system that can complement your existing network as a natural extension of your existing voice and data services.

A WLAN helps you mobilize your workforce by transporting data between computers and other devices using radio frequencies instead of hard wires.

Increase the flexibility of your network
A WLAN solution provides you with more flexibility because you're not wired into any particular area. You have the freedom to move around while still being connected to the network.

Mission-critical applications, databases, and services that were previously accessible only through desktop computers, are available to your employees anytime that coverage exists.

Decrease costs
A wired LAN can only carry a signal so far and must be reorganized if there are changes needed to the network structure. Using a WLAN solution, moves, adds, and changes are easy, you can connect to your network without the need for additional wiring.

A WLAN solution also solves location and installation challenges for locations that are difficult, impractical or expensive to install with traditional wire.
