Summary—802.11a faster, better, and smarter.
The reasons to choose a wireless LAN using 802.11a over 802.11b or a hard-wired network are many, but IT
managers and others involved in the selection process should keep the following in mind:
• 802.11a, with 54 Mbps, has the speed enterprises need to connect more users and provide greater
bandwidth for data-intensive applications.
• 802.11a, with eight non-overlapping channels, provides more capacity, is highly scaleable, and less prone
to interference. 802.11a operates in the uncongested 5 GHz UNII band and is backwards compatible with
802.11b.
• 802.11a, already certified in the U.S. and 14 other countries, is becoming the new worldwide standard for
large-scale enterprise deployments.
• Harmony 802.11a from Proxim, with its superior security, distance, and management functionality, has
been identified as the best solution on the market today.
