There are a number of considerations that must be taken into account when deploying a secure wireless network, but the recent evolution of the technology has done a great deal to simplify this task. The 802.11i sub-standard introduced by the IEEE has specifically addressed the problems found in the industry's earlier security initiatives. Furthermore, WLAN infrastructure vendors have designed product portfolios with enterprise-grade security as one of the core tenets distinguishing themselves from consumer-grade offerings. Siemens is one such vendor, and its HiPath Wireless Portfolio delivers a robust, standards-based security solution that can assure managers that they can finally take advantage of all the benefits enterprise WLAN has to offer without exposure to security risks.
