Motorola Study Recommends Enterprise WLANs as a Must-Have to Increase Productivity
By Anamika Singh TMCnet Contributing Editor
The Enterprise Mobility business of Motorola (News - Alert) announced research results from WLAN
(wireless LAN) assessing the requirements of North American enterprise WLAN decision-makers.
Most if the survey respondents have fully or partially deployed an enterprise WLAN and by 2010, 31 percent are planning the deployment of WLANs.
Enterprises are opting for WLAN deployments even when 20 percent of the polled enterprises expect IT spending on WLAN technologies to be 5 percent higher than last year's budgeted expenditure. Estimated 4 percent would reduce expenditure this year for WLAN technologies.
Sujai Hajela, vice president and general manager of Enterprise WLAN, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business, said "Enterprises are realizing the strategic need to invest in wireless infrastructures rather than continuing to invest in both wired and wireless," He also added, "802.11n-based wireless networks are more secure, more reliable, faster and cheaper than the traditional wired network infrastructure enterprises use today. The technology is ready for the wireless edge to evolve to the completely wireless enterprise."
According to the survey, 60 percent of enterprises with WLAN deployments are providing access to nearly half their workforce which is a 20 percent higher compared to last year and reflects the growing use of Wi-Fi with employee position levels.
For example how WLAN technology can improve network efficiency and the bottom-line is the innovative wireless deployment at San Marino Unified School District. "We decided to install a Motorola WLAN switch for centralized management and to standardize our access points from a single vendor to reduce the school district's wireless operational costs," stated Stephen Choi, director of technology, San Marino Unified School District. "Motorola's indoor and outdoor wireless solutions will enable high performance mobile connectivity on all four campuses supporting 3,200 students and 300 employees, which enhances the educational experience."
Enterprise WLAN is one of Motorola’s portfolios for innovative wireless broadband solutions for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Delivering IP coverage for private and public networks includes fixed broadband, mesh, broadband over powerline, WiMAX and Enterprise WLAN solutions.
Motorola is into innovations in communications. It develops technologies, products and services to make mobile experiences possible with enterprise mobility solutions, digital set-tops, cable modems, mobile devices and Bluetooth accessories.
