The Wireless Challenge
A worldwide revolution is occurring in business. Wi-fi enabled
notebook computers are proliferating and driving the adoption of enterprise wireless LANs (WLANs). Unlike past technology advancements that were driven by technology professionals, the explosion of enterprise WLANs is being driven by mobile users, traveling executives, wireless applications, and advanced services like voice over IP (VoIP) over Wi-Fi. The acceleration of enterprise adoption of WLAN technology is radically transforming business operations, the network edge, data centers, and centralized IT control. Today’s business climate requires anywhere, anytime connectivity. Mobility changes the way organizations do business. Real-time interaction, instant messaging, text paging, voice services, network access while traveling, and real-time network access in the office are transforming the business environment. In an increasingly competitive business environment, companies need fast responses and want immediate results. WLANs are now business-critical. End users are embracing the freedom and fl exibility of wireless connectivity, and business executives are recognizing the competitive advantage of business-critical mobile applications.
