Wireless access throughout a building or facility provides mobility, flexibility, and productivity advantages. It allows users to access information from anywhere within range, creates adaptable workspaces, and keeps remote workers connected. Wireless installations are also faster and less costly than wired networks, avoiding expensive cable runs and reducing costs of office reconfigurations. While security is a consideration, wireless can offer benefits if costs and risks are properly evaluated. Overall, wireless access would increase convenience for employees and customers while reducing costs and boosting productivity for a company in the long run.
