What is 801.11d?

IEEE 802.11d is supplementary to the Media Access Control (MAC) layer in 802.11 to promote worldwide use of 802.11 WLANs. It will allow access points to communicate information on the permissible radio channels with acceptable power levels for user devices. The 802.11 standards cannot legally operate in some countries; the purpose of 11d is to add features and restrictions to allow WLANs to operate within the rules of these countries. Comments: In countries where the physical layer radio requirements are different from those in North America, the use of WLANs is lagging behind. Equipment manufacturers do not want to produce a wide variety of country-specific products and users that travel do not want a bag full of country-specific WLAN PC cards. The outcome will be country-specific firmware solutions.

Disadvantages of WLANs?

WLANs allow mobility and availability, as you can take a device anywhere i the house without plugging in. it is also cheaper and easier to add new devices to a network, as there is no need for any more wires or cables. there is also proof that having WLAN increases productivity. However, the bandwidth is much lower than standard cable bandwidths, and WLAN is also less efficient and reliable. in most cases, the backbone is wired anyway, and there is a limited number of users allowed on the network. there is less security from malicious
