Wireless LANs are facing big scaling challenges as the number of clients and the multimedia content they consume surges, according to network professionals. Universities are seeing evidence of this in a big way.

Sprint Nextel has signed on several companies to help deliver location-based services for its impending WiMAX rollout next month that the carrier hopes will differentiate it from its competitors in the mobile broadband arena.

802.11n is poised to pervade the interior of enterprise buildings. In anticipation, new tools have been emerging to help enterprises plan, manage and secure these high-speed wireless networks, which have some eccentricities.

A new hosted service from SkyeTek is designed to apply RFID technology for mobile users and applications.

I’ve previously written about how the rise of wireless LAN equipment using the IEEE 802.11n standard is becoming a force to be reckoned with, and new data shows that the rate of migration to the new equipment is really “unprecedented.”

Interest in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is on the rise, according to the results of a study from the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).

With Google reportedly poised to strike a deal to become Verizon’s default mobile search engine, many Verizon subscribers may be wondering what’s in it for them.

Controller-based, pervasive wireless LANs are quickly become a standard feature of enterprise networks, according to a new study by BT North America.

The IEEE recently ratified the long-awaited 802.11r standard for fast handoff, officially named Fast Basic Service Set Transition. 802.11r, in development for four years, is a key component to solving the performance challenges associated with VoIP over Wi-Fi in large-scale networks.

Scientists have begun readying a large-scale field test of a mobile network designed to keep working despite failures, glitches and long delays.
