About 80 percent of U.S. enterprises will deploy wireless LANs by 2008, a new research report predicts.
According to the report by InfoTech, about half of U.S. businesses have deployed WLANs so far. However, those deployments are narrow, reaching only 10 percent of employees within those companies.

New applications will significantly boost both the number of companies deploying WLANs and the number of employees within each company using the technology, the report said.
