Enterprise Wireless

High Bandwidth Enterprise Wireless

“We expect more than 75 percent of enterprise end-point devices to be wirelessly connected to the company network within four to five years,” says Jack Gold, President, J. Gold Associates. Previous objections to wide deployment are removed with the soon to be ratified 802.11n standard which means that wireless bandwidth is approximating the throughput of wired infrastructure. The ability to distribute video and voice over wireless LANs will cause businesses to consider a wireless infrastructure. A wireless LAN infrastructure will enable faster upgrades and network refresh at lower costs for installation and maintenance.

JDL Technologies and Enterprise Wireless
Because JDL Technologies is at home with wireless network deployments of all sizes and shapes, we can answer your questions about 802.11n. JDL can help assess the right time to deploy or upgrade to 802.11n. JDL can answer questions such as:

• What will it cost and what will it save?
• How much bandwidth is there?
• What about security and management?
• Can QoS be managed?
• Is it the right fit for “our” business?

JDL can help get answers to these questions because it has significant experience with Enterprise Class Wireless and has a close working relationship with industry leading vendors. We can help determine which wireless technologies will work best given the current IT environment and infrastructure. JDL has partnered with Cisco Systems and Hewlett Packard to leverage their wireless technologies for the benefit of our wireless customers. We know how to bring these products to the wireless project in a way that optimizes company resources and the potential impact of wireless. JDL has installed, and remotely monitors and manages, one of the largest enterprise wireless deployments (click to see a case study) in the country (234 locations, 275 controllers, 6000 access points, 40,000 wireless laptop computers with approximately 20,000 clients per hour peak).
