As you no doubt understand by now, a properly selected and installed WLAN can provide a dramatic increase in productivity at the individual level, which in the end affects the bottom line for the company. However, selecting the wrong WLAN architecture or hardware can just as easily result in a system that causes the network to become unbearably slow, insecure, extremely unstable, or worse, a system that the users hate because of its archaic access and use rules.Over the past couple of years, WLAN architectures have undergone many changes, with some claiming that a particular system is a totally new leading-edge design that solves all the WLAN problems for everyone. Well, unfortunately, no single system solves every problem.This chapter discusses the various architectures, features, and functions available in WLAN products. It also explains what to consider so that you can build and scale the network in the future and accommodate technological migrations such as new security and data-rate advancements. You have to be prepared for expansion and continued growth; after all, when users start to see the benefits that a WLAN provides, they will start to consider it a necessity for daily work habits. |
