Without the time and cost of additional wiring, WLANs allow retailers to position registers closest to where customers make their buying decisions with multiple points of sale. WLANs also enable mobile applications for tracking goods to instantly connect data from bar code scanning to backend systems of inventory management.

Attendees of the complimentary webcast will have a better understanding of the WLAN security needs for retailers in locking down enterprise WLAN deployments, securing the integrity of customer information, and important steps in adhering to industry regulations. Many of the leading industry experts on the major challenges identified by retailers in becoming compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard will be participating.
