Where's Wi-Fi Waldo: A White Paper on Location-Based Services | 2009-03-03 | GigaWave Technologies |
| A wireless location-aware network is definitely one of those cutting edge technologies that require advance planning. It all starts with proper access point positioning regardless if one is deploying on demand tracking of a single device or deploying a real-time location-aware system. Automating the location tracking of valuable mobile assets can quickly provide a return on investment by saving the money spent on manual tracking methods.

Wireless Technologies in Industrial Markets: An Examination of Mesh Technologies in Mining | 2009-03-01 | Motorola |
| Motorola's Wireless Broadband Mesh product portfolio has been designed to offer maximum flexibility, offering both 802.11-based solutions and solutions with Motorola's industrial strength MEA (Mobility Enabled Access) technology for critical applications and harsh environments. When paired with Motorola's advanced MeshConnex routing algorithm, either access technology can provide a robust connectivity solution for a city, an agency or a business. This paper is the first in a series of solutions papers on how 802.11 and MEA technologies can be used in the most demanding RF environments in the world. This paper examines real world applications for mining, and the unique strengths and capabilities of each of the wireless technologies.

Wireless Vulnerability Management: What It Means for Your Enterprise | 2009-02-11 | AirTight Networks |
| A Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) is the prevalent approach for mitigating wireless security threats. However, businesses cannot always justify the cost of buying a full-fledged WIPS solution. Some consider the limited WIPS functionality in-built in certain WLAN infrastructure as sufficient. For others that do not own a WLAN, a common misconception is simply having a "No WiFi" policy makes their corporate network immune to wireless threats. A fundamental problem underlying this confusion is that businesses are unable to assess their security posture and fail to comprehend the severity of associated risks.

The T-Mobile HotSpot@Home UMA Service on a University or Enterprise WLAN | 2009-02-07 | Aruba Networks |
| Off late the features of dual-mode devices (cellular voice and data clients with additional Wi-Fi radios) have grown increasingly sophisticated. The burgeoning capabilities of these devices have attracted the attention of IT staff at enterprises and universities with campus environments because of potential synergies with already installed wireless LANs. More specifically, the potential exists for a user to carry a single device that leverages Wi-Fi coverage where cellular reception is poor, thereby lowering telecom expenses and improving the user browsing experience because of Wi-Fi's higher data rates.
