Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have emerged as the new wireless revolution, capable of delivering high data rates on unlicensed spectrum for office, home and public access using the IEEE 802.11 standard named Wi-Fi. Already companies such as Starbucks and McDonald's are funding Wi-Fi kiosks for customer use. There is much confusion in the WLAN industry today. Vendors and end-users are faced with the difficult task of deciding which version of 802.11 to adopt. The emergence of combo solutions such as the a/g and a/b combinations of 802.11 standards has further complicated the decision-making process. These issues and other relevant technology and business decisions will be presented in any easy to understand manner in this book. Unlike most books on WLANs, this book discusses both the business and technology implications of WLANs.
