Access points have limitations, and companies must work within those boundaries. If an access point is radiating in all directions, "that's not a good thing, particularly if [the signal is] going out a window and outside," said Giga analyst Stan Schatt. Enterprises increasingly are committing to a mobile computing world, installing wireless local area networks (WLANs) and equipping their employees with Wi-Fi-enabled devices. Indeed, research firm IDC has estimated that the global wireless networking market will be worth US$3.7 billion by 2006. But as more users access wireless networks, IT departments likely will find themselves pressed to strengthen and improve their company's signal range.
