Wireless LAN for the Retail Sector

Mobility always comes to the top as a key feature of wireless LAN in the retail sector. Inventories can be completed in much shorter time when data is entered directly into system database using handheld devices and barcode scanners. Special kiosks can be quickly setup for customer information and customer check-out. Wireless VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones allow employees to stay in touch. Visiting vendors could browse the internet with "guest" access.

Security issues:

One of the most important things to secure in the retail sector is the integrity of the inventory database. You don't want outsiders hacking into the system and changing inventory and cost/prices. Wireless LAN security implemented with WPA2 and AES encryption along with a RADIUS server for authentication meets these requirements. Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems detect and shutdown rogue access points. Security monitoring is a must-have in the retail sector.
