Wireless Networking Today – the Challenge for the IT Professional

Thursday, 29th September 2005, 6:30pm

We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the seminar entitled “Wireless Networking Today – the Challenge for the IT Professional", presented by Stef Coetzee (Senior Vice President International for NetMotion Wireless).

Abstract: Wireless networking is faster, cheaper and in greater demand by organisations than ever before. Using wireless network connectivity for applications enterprises can realise significant benefits such as:

• Business system reach to the point of action
• Increased user productivity
• Improved organisational throughput through lower operational overheads
• Improved control of expenses

However, deploying and managing an enterprise-wide wireless network can be a challenging and risky technical undertaking.

Stef’s talk engages with the issues facing IT in extending applications wirelessly in the context of trends in the industry. Based on feedback from those who have tried, he will walk through a number of alternate approaches as a backdrop to identifying the key attributes of a successful wireless deployment, focussing on securing the data in transit. Various dimensions of the challenge facing IT professionals are addressed, including requirements in the areas of mobility, security, performance, usability and management control. The talk will close with an illustrative case study from the health sector.
