Over 50% Of Organisations Will Have WLAN Deployments By 2006
IT organisations have slowly begun to dip their feet into the Wireless Land Area Network (WLAN) waters. By the end of this year, 30% of organisations will have transitioned WLAN trials into full production, according to research released today by META Group.
WLAN adoption will accelerate over the next two years, with more than 50% of organizations deploying WLAN by 2006.
The dramatic rise in adoption rates, according to META Group analysts, can be traced to enhanced security developments, specifically, the introduction of WiFi Protected Access (WPA) models:
"WPA has dramatically weakened the best argument against WiFi use and has given the upper hand to mobs of impatient enterprise users," said Peter Firstbrook, senior research analyst with META Group’s Infrastructure Strategies.
