How to determine if you should go wireless

While it's evident that wireless technologies can do many good things and provide enhancements in nearly every business process, making the decision to go 'wireless' shouldn't be made quick or without some serious consideration.

The rogue access points present some serious security concerns as well, and that's just one reason why organizations that haven't yet gone wireless should be a bit wary of today's wireless generation technology.
