Windows 7 supports a growing number of wireless networks including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and mobile broadband. These radio technologies are very distinct and require different considerations when configuring client access. While many of these are configurable through Group Policy settings in an Active Directory setting, you need to know which settings to change and what values will give you the desired configuration. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the few people that can explain all aspects of wireless in a way that makes sense to computer professionals. In this session Dr. Avril Salter will enable you to compare and contrast radio technologies supported by Windows, describe the key technical aspects of each network that you need to understand to configure computers correctly, and determine the right Windows configuration for appropriate yet secure data access.
