Wireless Solutions service is a technology that enables 2 computers or groups of computers to communicate with each other. In stead of using wire, the technology uses radio frequency to connect by setting up Access Point devices to distribute a signal in an area nearby. The signal is used for connecting the existed network in an organization to groups of computers which is wireless enabled. An Access Point device supports multi computer, the signal range depends on that area environment.

KSC Wireless Solutions connect wirelessly via IEEE 802.11 technology under 2.4 GHz radio frequency. Normally, any wireless enabled devices in the same standard are able to connect to each other no matter what their brand is. The wireless enabled devices must be certified the compatible connection, notices a Wi-Fi certified logo is displayed on the devices. There are 3 speeds of the technologies as following;

 

Standard	Frequency	Data transmission rate
802.11a	5.1 - 5.2 GHz	54 Mbps
802.11b	2.4 - 2.8 GHz	11 Mbps
802.11g	2.4 - 2.8 GHz	36 - 54 Mbps

2.2 Required equipment

Required equipment for installing the Private Wi-Fi Wireless Solution is as following;

1. Wireless Access (Access Point)
   is an Access Point used in public hotspots which has no different from one is for home used or office used. However, as it is installed in a public area, the device must be physically durable and reliable as it supports a lot of users.

2. Wireless LAN Network Adapter
   is a wireless device that connects an access point to a PC.
   
3. Authentication Server
   is user’s database storage, stores users’ identification and other information such as Internet connection remaining time. The Authentication Server can be located in a network, separated from a hotspot gateway.
