Study identifies growth in wireless LAN deployment Cisco released a study yesterday that identifies the benefits associated with implementation of wireless LANs.  Sixty-nine percent of government organizations surveyed now have wireless LANs in production.  This is behind every other sector included in the study and is up from 59% in 2001.  Thirty percent of industries surveyed are now deploying WLANs company wide.  Even though the adoption of WLANs is lower overall in government, it appears that government was also an early adopter with 39% of those with WLANs in place having deployed for over 2 years.  Contentious issues in government continue to be security and cost.  Another interesting point is the fact that government is leading all sectors in terms of outdoor wireless bridge deployment. 4:55:25 PM    comment []
