Mobility has now become an essential part of many organisations’ working practises. The nomadic and roaming capabilities presented by Wi-Fi would appear to make this a prime enabling technology for mobile working. However, poor planning procedures and weak implementations for Wi-Fi systems have, on occasion, led to poor reviews of this technology in the press and promoted cynicism from network engineers.

Too many wireless networks are implemented without necessary surveys and planning taking place, leading to poor performance, data loss, security exploits and poor connectivity. In this seminar, we will take a vendor-neutral look at how to properly plan and deploy scalable enterprise-class wireless networks, delivering effective services. Focussing on how to avoid common pitfalls made by wireless network installers, this session will describe best practises for planning and deployment of successful wireless networks.
