The Securities and Insecurities of Wireless Networks Today
Everyone is looking for a way to make things easier and more convenient, especially when it comes to technology. Everything that was once new and revolutionary became old and drab because it was stuck in one place due to wires. When laptop computers became smaller and more portable, the need for wireless connectivity became blatantly obvious. Having a wired connection does not allow us to keep up with the fast-paced society that we live in today. Around the early 1990’s, teams of engineers greatly expanded our options for portable technology. “Wireless technologies are without any doubt shaping the beginning of the new millennium. The principal of computing any time, anywhere, is becoming reality.”
Around 1991, “Wi-Fi” or “Wireless Fidelity” was invented by Vic Hayes of Lucent and Agere Systems in the Netherlands. Its initial design was meant for cashier systems and the first products on the market were called “WaveLAN.” This first attempt at wireless only supported speeds of 1 Mb/s to 2 Mb/s. In the past 15 years, things have definitely come a long way. The speeds have increased dramatically from their initial design and have given the world of wireless technology infinite possibilities. |

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.
This volume is in the Network Business Series offered by Cisco Press®. Books in this series provide IT executives, decision makers, and networking professionals with pertinent information about today #161;¯s most important technologies and business strategies. |

Technologies for the Wireless Future June 2006
Technologies for the Wireless Future, the result of pioneering cooperative work of many academic and industrial researchers from WWRF, provides a wide picture of the research challenges for the future wireless world. Despite much emphasis on hard technology, the user is certainly not forgotten as this book provides an all-encompassing treatment of future wireless technologies ranging from user centred design processes and I-centric communications to end-to-end econfigurability and short-range wireless networks. The content will have a wide-ranging appeal to engineers, researchers, managers and students with interest on future of wireless.
An important publication that highlights the significance of WWRF to the wireless industry. Rarely has one publication covered the whole spectrum of future wireless technologies from human sciences to radio interface technologies, highlighting the research work done both in academic and the business worlds. Tero Ojanper #228;, Senior Vice President, Head of Nokia Research Center
Provides an excellent overview about the future development of mobile and wireless communication. Starting from a user centric approach and the service infrastructure, a reference model and roadmaps are being built up. This book presents useful and necessary information to all, who are involved in research and development, strategy and standardisation activities towards future systems. Anton Schaaf, CTO and Member of the executive board Siemens COM
The WWRF should be commended for taking an approach that defines technology requirements from a user perspective. This publication makes an important contribution to defining the technologies that will be most relevant to future wireless communications. Padmasree Warrior, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer Motorola |
