Engineers at Dow Corning Corp. in Midland, Mich., were wasting their time in too many meetings where they couldn't access the network for important documents. So network managers installed an Enterasys wireless LAN in the office to support 130 users with radio-equipped laptops. The laptops give workers access to their e-mail, the Internet and project documents. Now employees can work at their desk, in a conference room or in a colleague's office.
