Are there drawbacks to wireless communications?
Yes, unfortunately! Although this technology offers a great deal of convenience and flexibility, there are tradeoffs. Less bandwidth is available in a wireless network, which is shared by all wireless network users in a given area. This is most often felt where large file transfers or high-bandwidth multimedia applications are used. Also, security of wireless networks is more difficult to achieve, and installing network wiring to access points requires long lead times and coordination with some combination of OIT and Facilities Maintenance.
