  • Understand your constituency: Wireless is a shared resource, so understanding bandwidth requirements, traffic load, and user-mobility patterns is essential to product selection and overall network design.
  • Kick the tires: Evaluate network products in a live deployment to prove vendor claims and establish viability in your specific environment.
  • Stay flexible: Radio frequency, by its nature, changes from minute to minute. Implement a solution that can change in real time without a lot of hand-holding. Otherwise, operational expenditures can eclipse any intangible benefits garnered from WLAN deployment.
