Conclusion

 < Day Day Up > 



At this stage of the game, Wi-Fi's future is wide open. While technical hurdles remain, the market for "all things Wi-Fi" is strong. As Wi-Fi technologies continue to evolve, they will spawn a wide range of new capabilities for enterprises and institutions across a number of industries. These capabilities can offer many organizations a key competitive advantage.

But as the widespread deployment of WLAN technology moves forward, it is vital that there be a solution that can provide end-to-end connectivity. This means that wireless networks must easily integrate with wired and cellular networks to form a seamless entity. A requirement for this end-to-end solution is a common set of advanced features such as security, manageability, VoIP, and QoS. With such features, IT managers will be able to deploy a universal bandwidth management strategy across their organizations.

The one thing that is crystal clear is that Wi-Fi's vulnerabilities are far outweighed by its great revolutionary potential for the future.
