Applications of the Wireless LAN Technology in the Nursing Work

Abstract:

With the rapid development of computer network technology, wireless networks have developed to wireless wide area network from a single wireless personal area network. Expansion of coverage was spread from a few meters to a global range and transmission speed was also doubled. The wireless network is gradually used into complicated module network environment, especially in the field of medical treatment, depending on the flexibility and the sound extendibility of its module network. This article is to introduce the wireless LAN technique and its character, and also to express its scientific use in the care.
