Planning a Wireless Network

Overview Here's a must-read resource if you're looking to mobile-enable your network.

The paper goes on to describe each of the various flavors of the 802.11 Wi-Fi standard -- including the forthcoming 802.11n -- and offers important architectural considerations for each.
