Wireless Technology is growing at a phenomenal rate. Of the many present challenges highlighted by the author, increased security is one of the main challenges for both developers and end users. This chapter presents this important security aspect of implementing a mobile solution in the context of Sydney International airport. After tackling initial challenges and issues faced during the implementation of wireless technology, this chapter demonstrates how security issues and wireless application were implemented at this mobile-intense airport organization. The decision to deploy and manage the wireless spectrum throughout the Airport campus meant that the wireless LAN had to share the medium with public users, tenants and aircraft communications on the same bandwidth. Therefore, this case study also demonstrates invaluable approach to protect unintended users from breach of existing security policies adopted by their corporate network. Authentication and data privacy challenges, as well as complete WLAN connectivity for tenants, public and corporate usage is presented in this case study.

WLAN technology has been widely developed for the needs of internet access in people's lives. Several generations of WLAN technology include IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. At the STAHN Rectorate Building, Gde Pudja Mataram, WLAN technology in its application requires financial consideration because excessive use of Internet Service Provider services results in a waste of operational costs. The application of WLAN is still not optimal, because there are not too many users, but the operational costs of implementing the local wireless network are very large, due to less optimal application of network infrastructure. The recommended WLAN technology is IEEE 802.11n, while the technology is the latest technology that has better quality than the previous generation technology. The research methodology uses the Network Development Life Cycle (NDLC). Of the 6 stages available, only 3 stages are used, namely Analysis, Design and Simulation of Prototyping. The results obtained from this study are models that design a WLAN that suits your needs, and complements the entire Building area.  Optimization has succeeded in reducing the need for ISP and client services while still being able to enjoy services as needed and cost optimization can be reduced by around 28%.
