There is little doubt today that unified wireless LANs are going to become the default connectivity for most enterprise users over the next few years.  Coupling wire-class throughput with the convenience of installation flexibility and mobility, today's WLANs can do it all - voice, data, and even video, with scalability to individual buildings, campus settings, and beyond. However, the rapid evolution of WLANs continues as we move enterprise systems past traditional access points and switched implementations to the next era in wireless LANs - that of unified architectures that will seamlessly merge wired and wireless networks into a solution with common management and unprecedented capability. Because of the lack of common management, installation of WLANs in the enterprise has significantly lagged in other areas, but this state of affairs is about to change. Join Frost & Sullivan and our panel of industry experts as we examine why  IT  managers are considering the installation of a unified wired and wireless LAN and what  are  the  real key benefits of this remarkable development and what that means for your business.
