Coffee shops aside, because wireless networks allow rapid transmission of data using radio waves, and assembly and maintenance is very convenient, they can be set up in situations in which it is difficult to lay down cables or where a temporary solution is needed. They can be used wherever they are needed, which is a great advantage over fixed lines.
而在咖啡店之外，由於無線區域網路是以紅外線技術進行高速數據傳輸，安裝上及維護上都很方便，架設傳統纜線困難的場所和臨時性場所都可以架設，隨裝隨用，更是固定網路比不上的優點。
