DO YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS to the 5 key questions crucial to building out a truly sophisticated Wireless LAN?

"How can I integrate WLANs into my overall security strategy?" It's the number one barrier to the widespread effectiveness of WLANs -- and now there are new answers.

"What's the best way to plan, deploy and evolve my WLANs for maximum effectiveness at minimal expense?" The rapid evolution of WiFi technologies means even one misstep could result in unrecoverable losses.

"How can I build my WLAN architecture to incorporate emerging technologies?" Switched WLANs may be a big answer if you are fully up-to-date with the latest operational issues.

"Can I really expect VoIP to work over WLANs that already carry huge data loads?" Yes, but make sure you take the right precautions and adopt the right equipment or risk crippling interference issues.

"How can I measure my real TCO and RoI? More important, how can I control it?" Your results are only as good as your ability to measure them -- and new management metrics are just emerging.
