Utah’s CTO explain Wi-Fi total cost of ownership (TCO): For a concise and real-world, hard-won explanation of the total expenses involved in deploying Wi-Fi networks in a large organization, read Phil Windley’s essay. His comment on VPNs is interesting, of course, as I predict (based on many more involved people’s opinions than mine) that 802.1x/EAP plus a secured form of EAP will allow enterprises to abandon local VPN requirements by offering security as robust as a VPN without the expense and overhead. In fact 802.1x/EAP might be an excellent supplement or sidecar to encrypted VLANs, which already use something very much like it.
