WLAN is a wireless local area network constructed using wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth,...

A WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is specifically defined as a network that uses radio frequency (RF) technologies , primarily Wi-Fi, to provide wireless connectivity. While technologies like infrared, Bluetooth, and ZigBee are wireless communication methods, they are not part of the WLAN definition.

Wi-Fi : Operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and is the primary technology used in WLANs.

Infrared : Uses light waves for short-range communication and is not part of WLAN standards.

Bluetooth : Designed for short-range personal area networks (PANs), not LANs.

ZigBee : Used for low-power, low-data-rate IoT applications, not WLANs.

Thus, the statement is FALSE , as WLANs are exclusively based on RF technologies like Wi-Fi.
