How WLAN works

To use WLAN, you need a handset that supports the technology and you need to be in an area with an active Wi-Fi network (called a "hotspot"). Depending on the security settings for the network, you might need to enter a passcode to connect.

WLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network. Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) refers to a specific range of WLAN networks, namely IEEE802.11, which today are the most commonly used WLAN networks.
