The objective of this book is to provide you with information you can use to efficiently and economically construct a wireless office. That office can range in scope from two computers sharing information over the air, to the interconnection of hundreds to thousands of wired and wireless LAN products.
In this book we focus our attention on many key topics associated with the construction of a wireless office. Such topics include, but are not limited to, site selection, equipment interoperability, equipment acquisition, and their installation and operation. In addition, we discuss several areas associated with wireless security as well as the use of different products and even some common sense that will minimize the possibility of our communications being literally “read” by unauthorized parties.
This book was written for a wide audience of readers. If you are a small office manager, LAN manager, network manager, or even a home computer user and are considering the use of wireless LANs or need to use them more effectively and efficiently, this book is for you. In this book we learn how wireless LANs operate, the difference between currently available and emerging products, and why new wireless LANs that operate at higher data rates may not be suitable or cost-effective for many organizations. While the primary focus of this book is on the construction of a wireless office, we also examine why the technology may not be suitable for some organizations, based on different operational requirements and operational environments. However, for the majority of readers wireless LANs hold a considerable number of utilization advantages that make this area of communications into a high growth area.
