In Europe, “the metro network” is growing through the implementation of wireless broadband with Wi-Fi coverage in varied, separate city campuses including City Halls, libraries, schools and hospitals. In these deployments, a major challenge for the local governments is how to allow and stimulate these initiatives while keeping a central control over the security and cost. Larger multisite enterprises are facing the same issues.

Is it possible to deploy wireless Internet access in a complex multisite network without it ending up an administrative nightmare? Is it possible to balance the need for an easy-to-use experience for internal employees with the crucial demands for security? Or when allowing temporary guest users onto the network?

In this session Johan Terve will cover lessons learned from some recent wireless Internet deployments with larger organizations like local government, education, healthcare and some Fortune 500 enterprises.
