While once considered a luxury, Wi-Fi connectivity is now an integral part of the modern enterprise. To that end, most IT organizations are deploying Wireless LANs (WLANs). With the introduction of 802.11n, these organizations can save significant capital and feel confident in expanding their wireless deployments to business-critical applications. In fact, wireless technologies often match the performance of wired networks—all with simplified deployment, robust security, and at a significantly lower cost.

In committing to wireless technology, organizations must ensure that every piece of the WLAN is both reliable and compatible with the other pieces of the enterprise network. The best way to ensure compatibility is to find a vendor that offers a broad range of wired and wireless networking solutions that protect existing technology investments.

With the industry's broadest wired and wireless portfolio, and a long history of delivering business-critical IP networking connectivity, Brocade offers all the pieces to deploy a wireless enterprise. In addition to offering indoor networking equipment, Brocade also provides the tools to wirelessly connect multiple buildings across a corporate campus.
