whitepaper Why your Firewall, VPN, and IEE 802.11i Aren't Enough to Protect Your Network2008-11-03 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Like any network technology, wireless local area networks (WLANs) need to be protected from security threats. Though recent developments in IEEE standards have been designed to help ensure privacy for authenticated WLAN users, WLAN clients and enterprise infrastructure can still be vulnerable to a variety of threats that are unique to WLANs.

whitepaper digEcor Designs Optimal In-Flight Entertainment Device With D-Link 802.11 a/b/g Wireless Adapter2008-11-03 D-Link
  digEcor manufactures the digEplayer XT In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) player. The company was bought by Wencor, a 55-year-old leader in the aircraft parts distribution business, in 2004. When digEcor was designing their award-winning digEplayer XT In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) player, they needed to include wireless capability to meet its airline customer requirements. digEcor needed the wireless adapters to feature 802.11 a/b/g functionality to allow maximum flexibility and avoid competition for bandwidth at airports with existing b/g networks. While researching potential suppliers, digEcor noticed that D-Link's commercial product, the D-Link DWL-AG132 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, fit their technical requirements.

whitepaper Hewlett-Packard (HP) Case Study: Asan Medical Center2008-11-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  In anticipation of opening a new 15-story building on its main campus that would house an additional 700 beds, Asan Medical Center wanted to upgrade its wireless LAN infrastructure in order to support new productivity-boosting applications. The hospital was using a centrally controlled Wireless LAN (WLAN) from Cisco, but required a platform that was reliable, cost-effective, and easily scalable to support high-performing real-time applications such as voice-over-Wi-Fi and access to electronic medical records. After an extensive evaluation of major WLAN vendors, AMC selected HP ProCurve to implement a new wireless network throughout its campus. HP ProCurve emerged as the vendor of choice due to its Quality of Service (QoS) for voice-over-Wi-Fi, seamless roaming capabilities, rock-solid wireless security, and ability to support 802.11n applications and devices.

whitepaper Securing Your Wireless2008-09-21
  If the information sent back and forth over the WiFi network isn't adequately encrypted, a hacker can easily tap into the network and monitor one's activity. When one types personal or financial information into a Web site, that hacker can then steal that information and use it to steal one's identity. The old encryption standard Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) can be hacked within 30 seconds, no matter the complexity of the passphrase one can use to protect it.

whitepaper An Architecture for Extensible Wireless LANs2008-09-15 Harvard University
  Off late wireless LANs are a mess. The current 802.11 family of WLANs involves a jumble of competing standards, and a slew of implementations with varying degrees of interoperability and conformance to those standards. This situation has arisen in part from the need to innovate and evolve these networks over time, driven by new applications and increasing load. In the future one expects this situation to get worse, given the shift towards wireless as the dominant access network. Driving these changes are new devices such as Wi-Fi enabled VOIP handsets and audiovisual equipment, as well as new services such as Apple's Time Capsule which performs background backups over wireless.
