One of the security implications of having a wireless network is to ensure that wireless networks will have coverage that will give access to resources in a timely fashion without the coverage being extended outside of the companies' boundaries where it could be hacked. Let's look at each of these in turn:
- Site Survey: Before we install a wireless network, we need to complete a site survey so that we know what can cause interference with the wireless network. In certain areas, we may need an extra WAP because of potential interference with the network. If we install a wireless network and it does not function properly or runs at a slow speed, then we have not carried out a thorough-enough site survey.
