| Wireless technology has become ubiquitous. It is now widely used for a myriad of purposes. Because myriad uses have different requirements, a number of wireless technologies have been developed. There are short haul applications requiring different speeds and feeds. There are wide metropolitan applications; some requiring very fast transitions between cells, some not. Between these extremes, there are medium distance applications requiring excellent security and the highest speed possible. For this, Wi-Fi technology has proven optimum. In the last ten years, Wi-Fi has come to dominate wireless use in the home. In business environments it already dominates in restaurants, airports, on the factory floor, in hospitals and on university campuses.
Because of the lower costs of deployment and improvements in security and business processes, wireless use in carpeted areas of the office is growing rapidly. Use of notebooks, PDAs, tablet PCs and wireless phones continue to gain momentum in the workplace and as a consequence being wireless has never looked so attractive. Being able to move about the office freely while still remaining "connected" has allowed businesses to increase their productivity.
