Synopsis:

As the workforce becomes more mobile, workers need to be able to communicate effectively no matter where they are based.

To facilitate successful mobile working, Siemens has announced the availability of its HiPath Wireless 802.11n solution.

The launch has attracted much attention as it is the first 802.11n solution to offer architecture and power consumption capabilities to make the migration to 802.11n networks easier and more cost-effective.

Siemens claims that the 802.11n solution offers substantial benefits over previous wireless standards, with speeds up to five times faster than traditional WLANs, greater range and improved reliability to support mobile applications such as HD video, imaging and voice over wireless LAN.

Enterprises are generally excited about 802.11n and the potential for new, high-performance wireless applications but have been hesitant to embrace the new technology out of concern that it will require significant changes to their existing network.

Now Siemens' dual-band, 3x3 MIMO Access Points will enable enterprises to deploy an 802.11n network using their existing 802.3af-compliant infrastructure.

Independent analyst Craig Mathias of the Farpoint Group has verified the claims of Siemens, and discusses his findings and the issues it raises for enterprises with Peter Judge, Mobility Editor for TechWorld, and Luc Roy, Vice President of Product Planning for Siemens Enterprise Communications.
