As businesses discover the productivity gains inherent in mobile computing, the number of Wireless LAN (WLAN) deployments is increasing. WLAN growth, however, is dampened by concerns over security and manageability. Industry standards such as IEEE 802.1x are addressing these security and manageability issues. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)-Cisco Wireless (LEAP), a feature of Cisco WLAN infrastructure products, has emerged as a leading 802.1x implementation. The Cisco Compatible Extensions program helps provide assurance of compatibility between Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure products and third-party wireless client devices, such as those from HP. HP participation in the program brings broad support for Cisco wireless LAN products to HP business notebooks.
