White Paper: A New Era In Designing And Managing The Wireless Network

More and more organizations today are discovering the benefits of wireless communications networks, including integrated indoor/outdoor networking, seamless mobility and exceptional cost effectiveness. At the same time, they're discovering there are major differences between wired and wireless technologies, and that wireless systems call for increased emphasis on upfront design and ongoing network management. Today's advanced wireless network tools offer organizations a unified suite of software solutions that simplify the design of complex wireless networks, streamline actual deployment and provide centralized remote monitoring and management of the entire network.

When enterprises thought of wireless technology at all, they tended to think of it as an extension of their indoor wired Local Area Networks (LANs). How things have changed. Today's wireless networks provide versatile capabilities that are emerging as the first choice of organizations ranging from corporations to municipalities to universities to medical centers and more. The new rule of thumb is fast becoming "wireless by default, wired by exception."
