It might seem like an oxymoron to talk about users being “mobile at work.” However, the corporate campus is no longer the sedentary work environment it once was. This is particularly the case in very large organizations, where regular collaboration must occur both within and between departments, forcing professionals into frequent meetings. Wireless LANs, IP telephones, and associated communications applications can buy these employees additional minutes or hours each day during which they can make productivity strides.

Organizations around the world are rapidly deploying WLANs across their campuses, branch offices, and remote locations. Today's WLANs are improving business operations and enabling real-time access to business-critical applications and network resources.

There is a trend in the WLAN space toward centralized intelligence and control. In this new architecture, a WLAN controller system is used to create and enforce policies across many different lightweight access points. By centralizing intelligence within these devices, security, mobility, quality of service (QoS), and other functions essential to WLAN operations can be efficiently managed across an entire wireless enterprise. Furthermore, by splitting functions between the access point and the controller, IT staff can simplify management, improve performance, and increase security of large wireless networks.
