Streamlining Your Mobile Device Operations With AirWave Mobile Device Manager

Whether in offices, retail outlets, warehouses, hospitals, or schools, enterprise mobility continues to accelerate. Mobile workers are running a variety of mission-critical applications on laptops, handheld devices, and mobile phones. More users and devices are working in a mobile fashion: frequent travelers are “hoteling” or working in their home offices, warehouse workers are using barcode scanners to update inventory systems as soon as merchandise leaves the truck, and hospitals are using RFID tags to track intravenous pumps and other valuable medical equipment – to provide just a few examples. Underscoring the mobility wave, Gartner predicts that by year-end 2010, 70% of global enterprises will be forced to re-architect infrastructure to enable mobile, temporary, or teleworker access, and by 2013, 70% of new enterprise users will be wireless by default and wired by exception.

Using AirWave RAPIDS to Implement Your Wireless Security and PCI Compliance Strategy

Wireless networks are quickly becoming the connectivity platform of choice across all types of organizations because of their flexibility, convenience, and ability to improve productivity. As WLANS evolve from best-effort to mission critical infrastructure, organizations are finding that the operational aspects of network security take on much greater importance. They are discovering that technical requirements are only one part of the equation; regulatory requirements relating to wireless networks are also consuming a significant amount of time and resources. As these requirements have affected more organizations, many are rethinking their approach to security in their network operations.
