Key Benefits:

•  Mobility: You can stay connected while you are on the move.
•  Flexibility: You can "reorganize" employees without having to change infrastructure.
•  Speed: A wireless network is generally faster to install and de-install.

Situations Where Wireless is a Good Fit:

•  Organizations with mobile users such as sales or service employees with laptops.
•  Temporary offices such as at construction sites, entertainment events, remote conferences and meetings.
•  Branch offices in leased spaces where you do not want to incur expenses for new infrastructure wiring.
•  Warehouses and factories where users may be on electric carts, forklifts, using bar code scanners, etc.

Wireless Concerns:

•  Security: Wireless networks are often not as secure as they should be, leading to possible hacking and espionage.
•  Non-optimum signal strength: The maximum bandwidth may be, say, 54 Mbps, but the bandwidth may throttle down to a much lower value if there are strictures that attenuate the signal strength or if you are farther away from the wireless access point (WAP).
•  Interference: Wireless signals can sometimes be affected by other R.F. sources such as microwaves, electric motors, copiers, etc.. This can cause packet corruption and cause higher retransmission.
