Langaton

Langaton is Finnish adjective meaning "wireless." In Finnish, it is used to describe devices, networks, and systems that communicate without physical cables. The term is common in technology-related language, marketing, and documentation, and it contrasts with the related term johtoinen, meaning wired.

Common usages include langaton verkko (wireless network), often referring to Wi-Fi and similar technologies; langattomat laitteet (wireless devices); langattomat kuulokkeet (wireless headphones); and langaton internetyhteys. The word appears in both consumer contexts and professional settings, from consumer electronics packaging to IT infrastructure discussions. Many wireless technologies are standardized, such as Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) and Bluetooth, which enable interoperability under a general umbrella of langattomien yhteyksien ratkaisut.

Implementation considerations: wireless products reduce dependence on cables but require power for transmitters and receivers, care for security and privacy, and may experience interference or range limitations. The term langaton thus signals mobility and flexibility, but not universal compatibility with all devices.
