What is Wireless?
Wireless networks allow your company’s employees to access shared company resources without the constraint of being tied to their desk, therefore enabling collaboration through freedom of movement, shared work spaces, and hot-desking.
Today, the rapid adoption of wireless technology is being driven by factors including; increasingly mobile workforces, the proliferation of Wi-Fi devices, and regulatory and compliance demands on IT departments.
Wireless has been cited as the second highest priority for business spending after security.
Wireless can also now provide more than just simple access to resources traditionally accessible via the wired network.
Wireless can also now provide more than just simple access to resources traditionally accessible via the wired network.
Organisations are increasingly realising the full potential of wireless networks in many innovative ways including; wireless location services for asset tracking, voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN), and providing secure guest access to company resources.

Why do I need a Wireless Solution?
Wireless networks have evolved from being a ‘nice-to-have’ technology to a business critical service.
Wireless networks are driven by employee demand for more flexible working practices and greater collaboration.
Businesses can realise productivity benefits from investing in wireless technology through:
- Improved access to network resources, information and applications regardless of location.
- Ability to access network resources in real time independently of physical location.
- Facilitating greater collaboration through shared workspaces and flexible working environments.
Wireless networks are also able to help transform business processes and operations by facilitating new services and applications including:
- Providing convenient, secure access to guests, partners, and customers on a single infrastructure.
- Using location services to track mobile assets and users.
- Collaboration with a variety of mobile devices and supporting data, voice and video on a single integrated wired and wireless infrastructure.
- Provide a low-cost means of rapidly connecting campus and branch offices.
How do I get a Wireless Network?
Deploying a wireless network solution starts with a wireless site survey. A proper site survey provides detailed information that addresses coverage, interference sources, equipment placement, power considerations and wiring requirements.
It also helps to have a basic understanding of the various wireless standards and relative performance characteristics. Refer to our wireless standards page for some basic information.
Components of a wireless LAN solution can include some or all of the following devices:
- Wireless access points – access points (APs) establish the connectivity between the wireless client and the wired network. Wireless APs are available in lightweight and autonomous varieties. Lightweight APs require a Wireless LAN Controller to function.
- Wireless LAN Controllers – Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) provide the intelligence for lightweight access points and simplify the deployment and administration of a wireless network solution. WLCs allow administrators to securely manage WLANs and mobility services including security, guest access, and location services.
- Wireless Routers – For small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) and branch offices, wireless routers can provide a complete, secure wireless infrastructure solution.
- Outdoor Access Points and Bridges – Outdoor APs extend the reach of the network beyond the physical boundaries of a building. Bridges can be used to rapidly and cost-effectively connect multiple buildings within a campus environment.
