And it's only just starting: the standard is less than three years old with the high-speed 802.11b yet to reach its first birthday. With standards and interoperable wireless products, LANs can reach scales unimaginable with a wired infrastructure. They can make high-speed interconnections for a fraction of the cost of traditional wide area technologies. In a wireless world, users can roam not just within a campus but also within a city while maintaining a high-speed link to extranets, intranets and the Internet (Neel, Moore, & Sanborn, 2000)
