The WLAN protocol is applicable for connecting internet enabled devices over short distances.
Wireless Local Area Network
WLAN (also called WiFi) is a Wireless Local Area Network. The WLAN protocol is applicable for connecting internet-enabled devices over short distances (e.g. in homes or at offices).
The WLAN protocol uses high-frequency (2.4 GHz) radio signals to transmit data, which makes cables unnecessary. WiFi connects the different internet enabled devices through the radio signals. WLAN is useful for IoT solutions with a need for high data-rate and a short distance between devices.
The WLAN protocol is quite secure, because data are encrypted, and wireless clients need to have their identity verified when joining a network.

Key features of WLAN

Secure
WLAN uses data encryption and users have to verified before use.

High data-rate
WLAn is very useful in IoT solution, where high data-rate is needed.

Short distances
If devices needs to be close to each other, the WLAN-protocol is suitable.
