Looking for a Career with No Strings Attached?

Keeping in mind the various types of wireless equipment being used by the company and its employees, Wireless Specialists determine efficient integration plans for all the hardware and software components. They also need to decide which networking protocols are most appropriate to utilize as well as the security measures that must be implemented. IT pros in the wireless field are always challenged with balancing the conflicting demands of budgetary cost considerations with the desired flexibility and usability of the technology.
