Wireless or not?

[JRBeltman]

Dear all,
my company wants to go wireless.
It is moving by May next year and since the cabling in the new building is not sufficient they feel that going wireless is the solution.

I am greatly worried about speed, security and administration (we are running RIS and AD to do most installation work for us).

Can you help to highlight some pros and cons for wireless in a small company (about 60 desktops and 10 laptops)?

many thanks

JR

It all depends on the size off the office. It is ideal for the laptops, but maybe not so nescessary for the desk tops. How much will cabling cost? Remember that you can also use this cabling for your voice system. Security can be done well, but would need lots of administration and, if someone really really really wants to hack into it, they can. Speed can be up to 100meg on 802.11g, (realistically it is hard to tell what you achieve).
