Over the past many years, wireless technology has helped to simplify networking by enabling multiple computer users to simultaneously share resources in a home or business without additional or intrusive wiring.

This concept is now moving out of the small regional concept and moving towards the enterprise side in terms of helping the enterprise community network its resources in a better manner.

These resources for the enterprise segment might include a broadband Internet connection, network printers, data files, and even streaming audio and video. This kind of resource sharing has become more prevalent as IT and more or less computer or laptop users have changed their habits from using single, stand-alone computers to working on networks with multiple computers, each with potentially different operating systems and varying peripheral hardware.

In this type of scenario, where mobility is required and users want it with almost all the products, wireless networking enables the same capabilities and comparable speeds of a wired 10BASE-T network without the difficulties associated with laying wire, drilling into walls, or stringing Ethernet cables throughout an office building or home. Similarly, laptop users have the freedom to roam anywhere in the office building or home without having to hunt down a connector cable or available jack.

Every room in a wireless home or office can be “connected” to the network, so adding more users and growing a network can be as simple as installing a new wireless network adapter.


Some of the biggest advantages of selecting wireless networking over traditional wired networks:

Reduced Capital Expenditure or CapEx

Flexibility of location and data ports is delivered with the help of wireless technology

Delivery of seamless roaming capability as desired by different user groups within an enterprise

Enabling Network access on outdoors basis
