Keep The Bad Guys Out of Your 802.11 Wireless Network

This paper attempts to present a reasoned analysis of wireless networking security, particularly as applied to the automated data collection (ADC) marketplace. While there are real security vulnerabilities associated with wireless networks, LXE urges all current and potential wireless networking users to make a rational assessment of their security needs, their exposure to risk and the cost of mitigating those risks. ADC environments pose some unique considerations because of the types of data transmitted, the geography of the coverage areas and the mobility of the users.
