Given the inherent risks of Wi-Fi networks, why is their use increasing at such a fast pace for business and residential use?
•  What are the challenges that are caused by an increasing demand for wireless communications? What are the corresponding innovations and solutions that are developed to address the challenges?

Explanation / Answer

As far as wireless networks go, they provide a lot of flexibility, range, mobility as well as wide area access without the need for cluttering wires and separate implementation. Even at residential places like homes and apartment building, a Wifi connection can be used to provide network access to the entire floor and sometimes even two floors. This is because i9d the inherent flexibility and cheap setup cost it required. Given the fact that wifi networks are getting increasingly harder to maintain as well as keep secure, there should be a decrease in their use but the number just keeps on increasing further and further. This can be considered due to the fact that Wireless network presents the best solution to the needs of businesses and individuals as well.

In terms of technology that is needed to address the inherent threat with a wireless network includes the use of structure implementation protocols, better encryption algorithms such as AES as well as the use of techniques such as mac address filtering combined with a solid encryption in order to safeguard the network. The network hub needs to be secure from physical access itself as well as the communication packets should also be encrypted in order to leave no possible holes in the network’s security.
