•White Paper: Defining A Successful Wireless Solution
Wireless data communications is set to move from a niche to mainstream business tool rapidly over the next few years. Although the growth rates differ, every published market study points to increasing business use of wireless technologies. Announcements of wireless initiatives by organizations ranging from giant global corporations to corner coffee shops confirm the breadth of wireless adoption.
New implementations reach far beyond paging and wireless e-mail. A particularly intriguing study released in October, 2003, by respected IT research firm Gartner predicts that half of all enterprises with more than 1,000 employees will use at least five wireless networking technologies by 2007. Businesses that may be hard pressed to name five different types of wireless technology today likely will be using some of them within a few years.
Rapid advancements in communications, software and mobile computing technology can make planning a wireless implementation seem like trying to piece together a jigsaw puzzle whose picture is constantly changing. For example, cell phone companies and other network operations are now offering third-generation (3G) wireless services, just as 2.5G networks and supporting mobile computing equipment are becoming mature and affordable enough to attract new business users. The business case for wireless LANs became very strong and thousands of businesses implemented the technology after the 802.11b standard was established, but now new, higher-speed standards are requiring businesses to rethink their infrastructure strategies. Radio frequency identification (RFID), Bluetooth and wireless LAN-based telephony (VoIP) also are displacing other technologies that have delivered proven efficiency benefits.
