The Business Case for Enterprise Class Wireless LANs May 2006
A comprehensive guide to analyzing the business rationale for WLANs
Evaluate the business rationale behind the deployment of WLANs, including return on investment (ROI), net present value, payback period, and total cost of ownership
Develop a robust execution plan to deploy and operate the WLAN
Understand the high-level technical issues of deploying and managing your WLAN from a business decision-maker #161;¯s perspective
Maximize the positive impact of supplementary and complementary services such as voice, video, and guest WLAN access
Identify potential security threats and develop strategies to mitigate attacks
Learn methodological and technical best practices from WLAN deployment case studies featuring real-world, enterprise-class businesses and institutions
Gather information easily by referring to quick reference sheets and appendixes covering an antenna overview, a high-level sample project plan, checklists, and flowcharts
Businesses today are increasingly adopting wireless LANs (WLANs) as a primary data transport mechanism. To determine when and how to effectively deploy WLANs, business managers, project managers, and IT executives need a clear, holistic evaluation of the business benefits and risks behind this complex technology solution.
The Business Case for Enterprise-Class Wireless LANs helps you make the right decisions by explaining the business value and cost of investing in a WLAN #161; #170;from security and architecture to deployment and application. Using a lifecycle perspective, this guide covers the value proposition, cost justification, and alignment of security, design, and operational components within the business.
Written in an approachable style, The Business Case for Enterprise-Class Wireless LANs provides a baseline analysis of WLAN technologies for a large-scale deployment and includes concise real-world case studies with checklists and flowcharts that you can adapt for your needs. By recognizing the obstacles and advantages of implementing a WLAN from a strategic and justified business perspective, you can apply the economic benefits to your organization and ensure a timely and efficient deployment of your organization #161;¯s WLAN.

Advanced Wireless Networks 4G Technologies June 2006
The comprehensive guide to the current status and future potential of advanced wireless networks.
This text provides systematic coverage of the latest global research results in the field of advanced wireless technology networks at a time when the industry is paving the way for 4G. The author adopts a logical approach, beginning each chapter with an introduction to the topic in question, before moving on to more complex ideas for system analysis. The discussion incorporates the physical layer, multiple access, the adaptive link layer, the adaptive Media Access Control Layer (MAC), teletraffic modeling and the adaptive Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer. There is then a detailed analysis of crosslayer optimization, mobility and handoffs, adaptive resource management, ad hoc and sensor networks, security and active networks. Strong sections on network deployment, network management, wireless information theory and energy efficient networks follow. Finally, QoS management and internet economics issues are explored in depth. The scope is thus wide-ranging, yet detailed and amply illustrated with real-life examples. It is a timely resource for those interested in understanding the current approaches and evolving directions for wireless networking. |

Increasing security awareness: visualizing WEP insecurity
It is a simple fact; security awareness is a very important aspect of your security solution. It is
confirmed every single day – just take a look at the latest MyDoom infection rate.
Failure to give attention to the area of security (awareness) training puts an enterprise at risk
because the security of the enterprise resources is as much a human issue as it is a
technological issue. |
