Wirless V's Wired
My organisation have purchased a building in the US and will be setting up another site, this building was an old warehouse and has very little data points. My question is what are the main pros and cons of wired V's wireless. They would like to just implement wireless throughout the building instead of spending the money on wired data points. I know from our own wireless network here that there are speed issues, signal issues, another element to troubleshooting issues, security etc. I would like to know if anyone else has implmented or researched implementing wirless as your primary network for PC's, printers etc..and what your thoughts were on this.
Wireless is generally going to be slower than a wired network but depending on how many users you have planned it may be OK.

Definitely wired. Faster and much more reliable signal. My company tried wireless for a system we installed out West, and the heat and dust in the building caused EVERY single router/switch to malfunction. Had to rip them all out and go wired.
