When deploying a wireless LAN, be certain to have a plan for fixing problems if they arise after the network becomes operational. In fact, even try to proactively find trouble spots and mend them before they affect users. This reduces downtime, which certainly makes users much happier.

 The use of Wi-Fi video cameras are being used in more and more surveillance applications. For example, London's city of Westminster is cracking down on people violating parking privileges (see related news story). More and more cities worldwide are also starting to take advantage of Wi-Fi video cameras to keep an eye on various illegal activities, such as vandalism and drug dealing. This offers a very good justification for municipalities to deploy city-wide Wi-Fi networks.

Cisco recently announced the release of their enterprise-grade 802.11n solution, the Cisco 1250, claiming that it’s the first enterprise-class 802.11n solution on the market. This solution provides up to 300Mbps data rates per radio and is backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g. Of course non-enterprise-class pre-standard 802.11n devices have been on the market for quite some time, but the recent move by Cisco should jump start the enterprise market migration to 802.11n.

 Rolla Huff, new CEO of Earthlink told San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom during a
telephone call "they were not going to be able to fulfill their end of
the bargain," said Nathan Ballard, Newsom's spokesman. "Mr. Huff made
it clear it wasn't going to happen with Earthlink; they are getting out
of the Wi-Fi business." Earthlink is one of the biggest champions of Municipal wireless. This is definitely not a good sign for Muni Wi-Fi installations across the country.

Wi-Fi hasn’t had a competitor since the days of HiperLAN, which was a relatively good wireless LAN technology that lost the fight against 802.11-standardized product proliferation a few years ago. For some time, Wi-Fi also won a bout against Bluetooth, which clearly fits now as a wireless PAN technology, not wireless LAN. Mobile WiMAX, however, is offering some new competition to WiMAX.
