Products & Services Wireless
Wi-Fi-enabled notebook computers are proliferating and driving the
adoption of enterprise wireless LANs (WLANs) – making business mobile.
Unlike past technology advancements that were driven by technology
professionals, the explosion of enterprise WLANs is being driven by
mobile users, travelling executives, wireless applications and mobility
services like voice services, guest access, enhanced security and
location services. The acceleration of enterprise adoption of WLAN
technology is radically transforming business operations, the network
edge, data centres and centralised IT control. Today's business climate
requires anywhere, anytime connectivity. Mobility changes the way
organisations do business. Real-time interaction, instant messaging,
text-paging, voice services, network access while travelling and
real-time network access in the office are transforming the business
environment. In an increasingly competitive business environment,
companies need fast responses and want immediate results.
