Several challenges associated with WLAN
implementation could spell the difference
between the success and failure of the
project: shifting through standards, making sure
that wireless coverage is adequate, preparing
both the wired and wireless LAN for voice,
tackling management and administration tasks,
and planning for the prickly radio frequency
(RF) environment. It’s a long list, but you must
understand them all to reap the benefits of a
WLAN implementation.

There are no short cuts: These are very complex
and potentially confusing networks which,
if not designed, deployed, and managed correctly,
can be a security and ROI nightmare. The
enterprise unwilling to do the work necessary to
design, install, and operate a WLAN properly is
advised to bypass this technology altogether.
