About this White Paper Series
This educational series explores the evolution of
wireless local area networks from their initial implementations to their
current status as critical and necessary elements of IT networks and the
planning and design process that is critical to developing a mobility
platform that supports applications far beyond what were contemplated
when the 802.11b specification was ratified in 1999.

Strategic Planning and
Design for Application-Driven Wireless Local Area Networks
White Paper Series
|
Volume 1
Introduction
The first volume of this white
paper series discusses the evolution of WLANs, from their
initial status as a luxury or novelty to the current position as
essential elements of a network architecture, as well as the
evolution of WLAN design to accommodate the ever-growing number
of often very demanding applications that are leveraging the
network for mobility.

Volume 2
Strategic Planning for Today’s
and Tomorrow’s WLAN
This white paper will present a
process for determining an enterprise’s WLAN requirements and
the critical criteria that must be established in order to
develop planning and design requirements necessary to implement
a WLAN that will meet the enterprise’s current and known future
mobility requirements

Volume 3
Results-Driven Design for the
Strategically Planned WLAN
The process of utilizing the
criteria defined for the network’s performance requirements and,
delivering a plan and design for the wireless network, usually
called a site survey will be examined in this volume of the
white paper series. In this white paper we will examine the
basic processes of a site survey, the methods and deliverables
resulting from physical site surveys and the ability of
predictive means to design and implement a WLAN capable of
supporting the applications currently being wirelessly enabled
in the enterprise.

Volume 4
A Strategy for Avoiding the
“Rip and Replace” Scenario
In this, the fourth and final
volume of the white paper series, a strategic design plan for
the implementation of a wireless network that provides a solid
foundation for both current and future wireless applications
with the lowest total cost of ownership will be presented. This
plan allows for an enterprise to meet its current requirements
while maintaining the ability to improve network performance
without having to remove or physically alter any of its legacy
WLAN when it needs to improve performance to meet the
requirements of additional clients or applications.
