Wireless Networks
Until recently, wireless local-area network products were used primarily in certain traditional organizations. Wireless LANs meet the requirement for users to move freely while remaining connected to the network. Original wireless solutions were proprietary and data rates were slow. 3com's Airconnect wireless solution has transformed the proprietary nature and dramatically increased rates of data exchange. More organizations are planning for and implementing wireless LANs than ever before. Wireless LAN solutions can provide flexible connectivity solutions where only fixed solutions existed before:
- Mobile sales personnel and consultants
- IT professionals and business executives
- Sites that are not conducive to LAN wiring because of building or budget limitations
- Cost savings offered by a line-of-sight, building-to-building bridge
3com's Airconnect products can be seamlessly integrated into wired Ethernet networks, and offer full compliance with the existing wireless standards and equivalent data security comparable to traditional wired LANs.
