The mobile phone has long had its place in enterprise security, and thus has reach a point of a somewhat secure device. If President Obama has his Blackberry hooked up to various government services, then it is safe to say that we can reach a point of acceptable security on these devices, and that's what I talked about in some degree over at SysAdminNews.com. Mr. Garcia focused his article not these mobile devices, but rather how increased tablets in the workplace will need an improved wireless network.

The obvious hurdles for implementing these devices is making them functional and secure. Finding the right software (or making your own) will be the trick to making them efficiently and effectively integrate into existing systems. After integration, keeping them secure and safe will be the next and equally important task. However, once those things are done, there is still a key area that we need to be wary of. Failing to plan for wireless bandwidth will see all of our integration and security work go down the drain. These tablets are dependent on a strong and reliable wifi network to function, so be prepared for this by starting to increase your wifi hotspots and bandwidth now.
