White Paper: The Real Cost Of 802.11n For The Enterprise

Right sizing wireless LANs (WLANs) for your business and budget is a matter of picking the vendor with the most efficient network architecture. Choose a WLAN with inefficient radio frequency (RF) antennas, controller architecture, and management, and the price will escalate as more components are needed to achieve desired coverage and capacity levels.

Wi-Fi runs over an unlicensed RF spectrum. So it is prone to wildly fluctuating performance as conditions change. Automated RF management and control capabilities are required to ensure that performance remains consistent, high, and reliable.
