WLAN Introduction
The mobile user requires the same accessibility, security, quality-of-service (QoS), and high availability
currently enjoyed by wired users. Whether you are at work, at home, on the road, locally or
internationally, there is a need to connect. The technological challenges are apparent, but to this end,
mobility plays a role for everyone. Companies are deriving business value from mobile and wireless
solutions. What was once a vertical market technology is now mainstream, and is an essential tool in
getting access to voice, real-time information, and critical applications such as e-mail and calendar,
enterprise databases, supply chain management, sales force automation, and customer relationship
management.

•
Mobility within building or campus—Facilitates implementation of applications that require an
always-on network and that tend to involve movement within a campus environment.

•
Convenience—Simplifies networking of large, open people areas.
•
Flexibility—Allows work to be done at the most appropriate or convenient place rather than where
a cable drop terminates. Getting the work done is what is important, not where you are.

•
Easier to set-up temporary spaces—Promotes quick network setup of meeting rooms, war rooms, or
brainstorming rooms tailored to variations in the number of participants.
