Profit From Gartner’s Objective View
At Today’s Only Vendor-Neutral WLAN Conference

Practically overnight, WLANs have blossomed into a playground of high-tech, "gotta have it" solutions for linking any computing device with another, locally or over the Internet, in an instant.  So compelling, so successful are the early days of WLANs that they have disrupted the slow migration to 3G wireless services with simpler solutions that are ready now.

What's hot?  What's hype?  Find out the difference at Gartner’s Wireless LAN Summit – the only objective, vendor-neutral resource WLAN conference available today – and save $200 when you register by October 8. 

Also included in the line-up is a keynote session presented by Allan Scott from Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA).

At this summit, we're focusing on actionable realities that top companies are already achieving including Perot Systems and Buena Vista University.    Key executives will present case studies of their own WLAN experiences to give you a firsthand look at both the opportunities and challenges involved in creating your own wireless network.  For details go to http://www.gartner.com/us/wlan. You’ll get answers to your most pressing issues including:

• "Show me the money!"  Discover how smart companies are making money right now during the downturn.  You’ll save significantly when you unplug your network.
• "I don't want to lose control" Learn how to keep your WLAN private, secure and safe from drive-by hacking.
• "My employees work at home and travel" Find out how to mitigate the risks.
• "It's all about ROI now – how do I justify it?" Determine how WLANs fit into the traditional ROI benefit structure.
• “What kind of new traffic will a WLAN generate?"  Examine the demands a WLAN will make on your enterprise – and how to optimize traffic.
• “What's the deal with Bluetooth and 802.11?”  Get the up-to-the-minute verdict.
• “I can't afford to make the wrong decisions" In this nascent market, you need the right information to make the right decisions.  Costly missteps are something no one can afford.  We’ll show you the pros/cons of today’s existing technology as well as new emerging solutions.
