$Wireless connections Wireless connection is the transfer of data without the use of cables by means of radio waves only. Depending on the frequency used for data transmission, the area covered, or the type of the device used for data transfer, the following categories of wireless networks may be available to you: Wireless LAN A wireless local area network covers a relatively small geographic area, such as an office building or a house. Devices based on the 802.11 standards can connect to this network. Wireless WAN A wireless wide area network covers a broader geographic area. Cellular networks are used for data transmission, and access is provided by a wireless service carrier. Bluetooth One of a number of technologies used to create a wireless personal area network. Bluetooth can connect devices a short distance from one another, and is commonly used for connecting peripheral devices to a computer, transferring data between hand-held devices and PC, or remotely controlling and communicating with devices such as mobile phones. Wireless USB This wireless analog of the USB standard can create a wireless personal area network by implementing short-range large-bandwidth radio transmissions. It is used primarily for connecting a PC to peripherals that are no more than a short distance from the host. WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) This long-range wireless data transmission technology based on the 802.16 standard, is expected to provide the user a "last mile" broadband connectivity similar to that provided by cable or ADSL, but without the need to physically connect a cable to the PC. zUsing wireless LAN connections zUsing wireless WAN connections zUsing Bluetooth zUsing Wireless USB zUsing WiMAX zChecking wireless connection status 1/2 ページWireless connections2009/03/02file://C:\TamaTemp\Wireless.htm\Wireless.htm$

$Your computer comes with a built-in wireless networking card and a configuration utility to help you make wireless connections and monitor the status of your connection, so that you can stay connected to your network while you are in the office, in a meeting room, or at home, with no need for a wired connection. Attention: zIf you carry your ThinkPad computer with the wireless LAN feature into an airplane, check the services with the airline before boarding the airplane. zIf there are restrictions on the use of computers on an airplane with the wireless feature, you need to disable it before boarding.
