Fiberlink & Gartner Host Live Web Conference: Wi-Fi for the Enterprise

Learn about the many challenges and opportunities of deploying Wi-Fi in the enterprise and how Fiberlink's solution with over 5000 Hot Spots, integrated security and comprehensive management can help ensure your Wi-Fi solution is enterprise-ready.

Fiberlink, the leading provider of comprehensive, policy-centric remote access solutions for enterprises, will host a live web conference - "Wi-Fi for the Enterprise" -- featuring Gartner Research Director Bill Clark and Fiberlink Mobile Solutions Manager, Howard Pressman.

Bill Clark is a research director for Gartner, Inc. He focuses on worldwide mobile applications and data including wireless application gateways, wireless local area networks (WLAN), wireless communications and mobile software. Some of his recent research includes, "Select Vendors Fuel Wireless Lan Hot Spot Market," and "The Real Time Enterprise and Network."

Why: Wi-Fi remote access is quickly becoming a reality. In fact, Gartner found that employees using wireless notebooks can expect as much as 11 hours of new productivity per week. In contrast to being one of the most compelling productivity opportunities, Wi-Fi represents one of the most disruptive vulnerabilities facing enterprise IT departments. Security, network management and cost control continue to worry CIO's while employees take advantage of mushrooming Wi-Fi Hot Spots.
This web conference will discuss the challenges and opportunities Wi-Fi presents to the extended enterprise as well as the importance of managing Wi-Fi by policy rather than popularity. With over 5,000 Wi-Fi Hot Spots and focus on policy-based access services that can uniformly deliver security, access and management consistently across broadband, dial-up and wireless, Fiberlink is uniquely qualified to address the issues and opportunities of Wi-Fi in the enterprise.
