NCA Security & Technology Conference '08

Technology Answers to Business Initiatives

Enterprises just want wireless that works. While user mobility and productivity have become essential objectives for wireless technology, poor coverage and erratic performance continue to hamper deployment. This is especially true for the middle of the enterprise market where IT expertise and budgets are severely constrained. And with IP-based video and voice now becoming mainstream, companies are looking because casual data access – wanting to move Wi-Fi from a technology of convenience a ubiquitous utility.

Ms. Lo will examine the changing market for wireless LANs with in the enterprise and suggest some new deployments models that fundamentally change the underlying economics. She will outline how recent technical Wi-Fi advances such as Smart Meshing, intelligent antenna arrays along with new standards like 802.11n are being combined to cut in half the capital and operational costs as well as the deployment times traditionally associated with WLANs. These same advances deliver new levels of coverage with fewer access points and more consistent performance for users.
