Wireless LAN for the Professional Sector
Mobility always comes to the top as a key feature of wireless LAN in the professional sector. No matter whether it's in a architects office with just a few users or in a large accounting complex with 1000s of users with multiple buildings and locations. Mobility means increased productivity. New facilities can be quickly setup. Offices and cubicles can be moved around and rapidly reconfigured. Clients and vendors can browse the internet with "guest" access.
Security issues:
Company assets must be protected. For the professional sector, a company's major asset is it's intellectual property (IP.) These assets are drawings, software, files, data, and everything that it takes to make the company unique. The wireless LAN must be kept secure an not open to hacking. Wireless LAN security implemented with WPA2 and AES encryption along with a RADIUS server for authentication meets the security requirements. Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems detect and shutdown rogue access points. Security monitoring is a must-have in the professional sector.
