The ability to securely deploy multiple new services on a single network, like voice and data, as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, is what makes WLAN so compelling for the enterprise.

At the same time enterprises need to adapt to the challenging business environment of the past years which has forced them to cut costs and work very efficiently. Deploying WLAN is an opportunity for enterprises since it leads to a significant reduction in TCO. Fixed costs (e.g. cabling required per user) as well as variable costs (e.g. IT set-up costs in case an employee moves office) can be significantly reduced.

As well as this, allowing employees to be connected at all times increases enterprise productivity. Recent industry studies have shown that WLAN can save each employee 70-80 minutes per day, just by being able to work flexibly in the office or while on business trip.

Deployments of WLAN also help improve business processes. In healthcare facilities for example collecting patient treatment data and creating documentation right at the point-of-care using WLAN-enabled tablet PCs increases the accuracy and productivity of medical personnel. This improves the hospital’s cash flow, since bills for treatment can be sent to health insurance companies faster, and are less likely to be returned due to mistakes.

The Garderos Enterprise Architecture helps enterprises to master the challenge of secure access control and authentication for voice, data and M2M services which are progressively deployed on the WLAN.
