Working wirelessly provides the flexibility to operate effectively from virtually any location, at any time, and in any manner required. Reliable wireless performance depends on maintaining a consistent and dependable signal wherever connectivity is needed. It is also essential to prevent unauthorized access to the wireless network, as any intrusion could place the wired LAN, private data, email systems, and operational workflows at risk.

Selecting appropriate locations and channels during wireless LAN deployment is critical for minimizing interference. Strong and secure wireless connections can be disrupted by appliances such as microwaves, cordless phones, and HAM radios when they operate on the same radio frequencies used by the wireless LAN.
