| | IT Rolls Out Wireless LANs Despite Insecurity - Computerworld |
 | | BMW AG in Munich, Germany, also uses 802.11b on the factory floor and has relied heavily on site surveys to prevent access points from bleeding to nearby buildings or parking areas, says Daniel Lange, director of IT strategy. |
 | | Lange says that since the first of the year, BMW has discovered no additional security holes in 802.11b, although there have been more articles describing its deficiencies, in addition to a broader discussion of its flaws. |
 | | BMW does a lot to keep security high, including sending an IT inspector into the homes of BMW workers to see how they use home-based wireless LANs for work, a key point of vulnerability, according to analysts. |
