Unwiring the Enterprise: A Fresh Look at the Risks and Rewards of Abandoning Wired Access for Wi-Fi

WLANs are no longer a novelty for tech savvy home users. In recent years, there have been major developments targeted at making WiFi applicable to the corporate world; most notably in the areas of security, speed, interoperability, and QoS.
