In the U.S. it would be called wifi or wi-fi rather than wlan. Anyone know what the British

In the UK it's also "wifi" or "wi-fi", but wlan is understood and has considerable establishment in
OSM:
Wi-Fi vs WLAN is not AmE vs BrE,
WLAN is the technical term, standing for Wireless Local Area Network.
It is standardised in the IEEE 802.11 series, using "Wireless LAN" in the title.
Wi-Fi is a brand name, introduced by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
OSM should therefore continue to focus on the standardised, generic term WLAN.

The 'box' would contain a full access point and not just the antenna, thus I'd prefer not to tag the
antenna alone.
