When you see business people sending e-mail and surfing the Internet from their laptop at the airport, you probably ask yourself, “Does that really work?” Yes, wireless networking really does work and it can bring big benefits to small business owners and employees who need to connect to one another in the office and on the road. You can:

• Use wireless technology to connect two or more computers, printers, and other devices. Wireless networks use radio waves instead of cables to create a network and are easy to set up. They also move easily from one office location to another.
• Use wireless connections to tap into Internet "hot spots"—areas where wireless Internet service is available. Hot spots let you stay connected to your office and your e-mail from airports, hotels, coffee shops and more.

To see what type of wireless networking is right for your company, answer the following questions.
