Examining the Current Uptake of Wireless LAN Solution in Europe and North America.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c32486) has announced the addition of Meeting wireless LAN security One issue with corporate wireless networks in general, and WLANs in particular, involves the need for security. Many early access points could not discern whether or not a particular user had authorization to access the network. concerns to their offering. The penetration of wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area (wLAN) solutions in both Europe and North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. has been strong as organizations open up to the benefits of hot desking Using a set of cubicles for mobile workers who come into the office from time to time. It is similar to hoteling, but reservations are not required. People come in and sit down at the next available seat, plug into the network and go to work, which means a vice president might sit next to and greater internal mobility. While many security fears have been overcome, others still remain unresolved and more must be done to ensure that a new wave of security fears do not undermine further wLAN investment. Scope of this title: --Examines the current uptake of wireless LAN solution in Europe and North America. --Highlights key differences between the continents in terms of solution uptake and security perceptions. --Highlights many of the key security threats today and the steps taken by the industry to mitigate them. Highlights of this title: Fears that the furore over weak wireless LAN security would bury the technology have, thankfully, not been realized. While the damage caused by the weaknesses inherent in WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. threatened to sink wireless LAN implementations, the industry has managed to overcome many concerns to the extent that wireless LAN penetration is now very healthy. For customers to increase the number of users that these networks serve, however, vendors still need to ensure that sufficient security is in place should a new wave of security threats emerge.
