Signs Of Trouble: Locating E9-1-1 Callers Over Wi-Fi
If we or a colleague make a 9-1-1 call, we want assurance that first responders can reach us as quickly as possible. In the United States this is assured by the E9-1-1 system, and the reliability of E9-1-1 is an important article of faith for most people, at home and at work. Very few of us have a good understanding of how E9-1-1 works. As we shall discuss in this paper, the legal requirements for E9-1-1 are fragmented, with only 16 states legally mandating E9-1-1 compliance for businesses as of early 2010. Nevertheless, TDM PBXs have incorporated sophisticated and dependable emergency call handling features, so whether mandated or not we have come to rely on E9-1-1 and it has performed well.

The Indestructible Network: Wireless LANs for Industrial and Outdoor Applications
Many organizations require data and voice communications in industrial and outdoor environments. Historically these needs have been met by a patchwork of copper or fiber-optic cable in the ground, low-bandwidth 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz wireless links, and depending on the particular site, satellite networks too. While wire-line networks can support high data rates with high reliability, it is not always feasible or cost-effective to dig trenches or string overhead wire across chemical plants, container ports or off-shore oil platforms. Manufacturing plants and storage facilities with explosive atmospheres and ignition hazards have specialized installation requirements, raising the installation cost and complexity of wired networks. Consequently many deployments utilize both wired and wireless technologies, often combining licensed and unlicensed spectrum across a number of different frequencies.

A Farpoint Group Technical Note – Multimedia for the Enterprise Wireless LAN: Exploring Key Requirements
While use of the term multimedia originally centered on (and, of course, still plays a major role in) entertainment applications, the importance of multimedia in corporate environments cannot be overstated. Farpoint Group has been encouraging our end-user clients for some time to include telephony in their WLAN deployment plans, this recommendation motivated by the same factors that have enabled the success of the WLAN overall – cost reduction, anytime/anywhere convenience, and the increasing availability of inexpensive subscriber units (including many cellular handsets) supporting voice and video on the WLAN. Just as it is extremely unlikely that one will find a notebook computer for sale today that does not include Wi-Fi, it is also increasingly uncommon to find enterprise-class smartphones that do not include Wi-Fi as well. We believe that the increasing popularity of unified communications coupled with the fundamental need for mobility satisfied by the wireless LAN will further motivate the rollout of VoFi in corporate settings, eventually leading to ubiquity.
