Overview
Today, most enterprises are running two separate networks – one wired, and one wireless. Most enterprises have treated Wi-Fi as an ancillary tool, meant to complement, but not replace, a company’s wired Ethernet network.

However, several new technological advancements and trends are encouraging IT administrators to rethink their network strategies. In this respect, Wi-Fi has grown up a lot in the past decade.

Once a luxury reserved for curious corporate executives and engineering labs, Wi-Fi is now an invaluable tool for any modern office whose employees use notebooks or handheld computers. Wi-Fi unshackles employees from their desktop computers, whether they are attending a meeting down the hall or visiting the company’s manufacturing floor. The majority of PCs and handheld computers now come equipped with a Wi-Fi connection.
