Wireless LANs are no longer optional >
>> The benefits of WLANs are enormous, producing a tangible return on investment in record times. Industry research indicates that fifty percent of all Enterprise networks will include at least one WLAN by the end of 2003. It’s no longer a question of whether or not to deploy wireless technology but rather when and how.

Building a Case for Wireless Ethernet >
>> One of the most obvious reasons to deploy wireless technology is mobility. End users can access the Internet and wired Network resources from anywhere within the wireless network footprint. Increased mobility equates directly to increases in employee productivity and satisfaction.

>Wireless Ethernet technology also allows the LAN to be extended into areas that are impractical or impossible to wire. Good examples are outdoor and indoor meeting areas and open public areas.

> Another potential application is in temporary office space where investments in wiring infrastructure will be lost. Additionally this allows for instant connectivity rather than waiting for cabling to be run.

> Wireless technology also allows for adds, moves and changes without any additional cost. In a dynamic environment this can payoff handsomely.

> When Building to Building connectivity is needed, wireless bridging is quicker to deploy and less expensive than Telco solutions. Companies need only make a one time investment in hardware compared to the recurring fees associated with traditional wired connectivity.
