Enterprises that employ wireless data networks can realize even greater ROI from the systems than they originally had anticipated.

By providing employees with IP-enabled wireless telephones, businesses can improve employee mobility, responsiveness, and productivity. But there are issues to be dealt with to ensure optimal efficiency and voice quality. This session will examine best practices in bandwidth allocation as well as discuss the issues surrounding QoS and security on the wireless LAN.
