Wireless

The demand for wireless access to corporate LAN's continues to see amazing growth. Mobile computers and PDA?s of today all come ready to connect to a wireless infrastructure. A wireless environment is fast becoming a must have, not a nice to have. Most companies choose to deploy wireless in their organization to improve productivity by enabling employees to be mobile. From desk to conference rooms and back, employees can remain connected. Wireless LANs are becoming a standard part of enterprise networks, covering entire facilities, not just meeting rooms. Transforming an existing corporate infrastructure to support wireless is not easy or without risk but it can be minimized with planning. The first item to consider is how you are going to integrate wireless into the existing culture. The technology can improve employee performance if business processes incorporate a mobile workforce into the model.
