Wireless LANs are becoming more and
more common in vertical industries such as retail,
warehousing, and manufacturing. Automated guided vehicle
(AGV) technology is being widely adopted. Wireless LANs
are proving indispensible wherever workers or machines
must execute tasks in a precise and timely manner
without the encumbrance of wires.
