Today, wireless networking offers whole new ways for companies and people to connect, and to share data and resources.  Within an office, notebook users are no longer tied to a desk - they can move about the office, attend meetings, visit colleagues - all with continuous access to the complete resources of the network.  Even desktop users have new flexibility - furniture can be moved, cubicles rearranged, offices juggled, etc., with no wiring changes needed, and without ugly and hazardous patch cords scattered around the floor.

Multiple office firms can benefit from new mobility.  A user can visit a company office in another city, and, simply by walking in the door with his notebook computer, be immediately connected to the corporate network as well as other resources, like e-mail and the Web.

Notebook computers can be connected to the wireless network with an inexpensive PC card.  Desktops are usually connected with a wireless network card that installs in a similar manner to a standard network card.  Although the wireless network cards can communicate with each other for peer-to-peer networking, most commonly one or more "access points" are installed in an office to allow the wireless computers to connect to the server and any "cabled" resources.  The most common speed currently in use is 11 Mbps, which allows plenty of speed for bandwidth-intensive applications and user performance that is almost always indistinguishable from a wired connection.

Wireless components can also be used for building to building communications.  This allows high speed network links between buildings without costly and disruptive trenching to lay fiber or copper cable. 

Wireless means totally new forms of communication, too - cell phones and wireless PDAs let users stay in touch via voice, instant messaging, and e-mail.  Applications like ACT! and other CRM solutions can be anywhere a company representative goes.  Microsoft Office documents can be edited and shared... the possibilities are limited only by one's imagination.

One of the most common uses of wireless networking today is to link offices that may be up to ten miles or longer apart.  Compared to expensive leased lines, frame relay links, T1 connections, etc., wireless links are owned and operated by the company itself, meaning that after the initial capital investment, there are NO monthly charges.  In addition, bandwidth can be very high, and installation is far faster than any approach involving digging.
