The HP ProCurve Switch 2650 , and Switch 2626 when available in July , offer dramatic results at a price point that allows us to deploy next-generation solutions with enhanced wireless capabilities sooner than expected . One interviewee observed that in spite of the potential advantages in reaching a number of the company ’ s satellite offices through fixed wireless , the need to secure roof top locations was too complicated , causing the company to seek other solutions .

In addition , effective policies and procedures should encourage employees using approved wireless networks to report unusual activities . Additionally , if the spec is ratified by the IEEE , Enhanced Wireless Consortium officials indicated that they plan to make the technology 's necessary intellectual property openly available on so-called " reasonable and non-discriminatory ( RAND ) terms " - - thus helping additional companies build products based on the spec. Nevertheless , as chipset support widens , there 's a good likelihood that the technology will find fans among do-it-yourself notebook builders and home theater PC enthusiasts . For example , the City might encourage better penetration of fixed wireless service in San Francisco if it were to lease rooftop antenna sites . A fortnight ago , the Nepalese authorities released tapes of an intercepted wireless conversation involving the Maoist chief Prachanda and one of his associates . We are excited about working with proven industry leaders like Sprint PCS that share our vision and have the expertise and innovative spirit necessary to make enhanced wireless web services available to a growing number of customers . On the other hand , the competitive disadvantage of not upgrading , thereby not providing enhanced wireless Web-based services , is significant .
