The increased use of laptop computers coupled with the demand for worker mobility has fuelled the advent of wireless networking and in particular the wireless LAN. Wireless LANs are based on industry standards such as IEEE 802.11 which ensure cross-vendor compatibility. Network Elements Ltd are able to design and deploy wireless LAN systems that integrate seamlessly and securely into your existing wired network. Wireless LAN technologies provide continuous, cable free access to your network, e-mail, and the Internet throughout the workplace. Wireless LANs can be configured in a variety of ways, ranging from the deployment of a wireless access point that lets employees connect to a large, corporate network to wireless Internet access from a coffee shop hotspot around the corner.

The big topic when addressing wireless LAN technologies is obviously security. Operating a poorly secured wireless network can be like extending your company’s network into the car park and the street beyond. Network Elements Ltd can secure your wireless network utilising methods of access control and encryption which best suit your corporate security policy such as IEEE 802.1x and WiFi protected access.
