Wireless LANs are not just popular, they are now widespread. Shipments of 802.11b WLAN components now exceed 3 million units per quarter and are growing fast. Increasingly, WLANs will replace the traditional fixed-line LANs because of their flexibility, affordability and the Return on Investnment they offer through cheap deployment and support costs. There are dozens manufacturers of WLAN products, which is contributing to the growth of the market and competitive prices.

WLANs are deployed across the range of corporate and small office environments. From the largest business or government agency down to the home user, everyone is using them in the same manner as fixed-line LANs. Walk through a downtown core and you will find all manner of business using WLANs – you can tell by the 802.11 radio signals leaking out of the building and being bounced and reflected for city blocks. Walk through a residential neighbourhood and you will find a whole different population using the same technology.

The problem is that the vast majority – 80% by our own research - are all using it the
same way: without even basic security. The networks are not configured with security of any kind and are generally providing access right into corporate networks.

"A business might as well install a LAN jack in the parking lot across the street, if they manage their WLANs in this fashion."
