Based on my experience at my last gig (working in Long Term Healthcare),
wireless should not be an issue as long as you are using some form of
encryption. Since most wireless cards/AP/Routers support WPA2 I would
just turn that up on the AP for anything internal. We had quite a few
mobile users that would travel from facility to facility and using the
wireless in facility. We used Cisco Aironet 1300's with Cisco ACS,
hooked into our AD domain so that they had to use LEAP to get on to the
wireless, and it worked just fine for us.
HTH.

Got a side gig coming up for an optometrist who wants to put in
SBS and a handful of PCs for a fairly new practice. He's got a small
peer-to-peer network over wireless right now and would like to stay
wireless due to no cable in the walls. Given the medical nature of the
data, is HIPPA involved? IF so, what does HIPPA state regarding
wireless LANs?
Thanks,

Leap is so insecure and breakable it isn't funny, I would go with WPA2
as a minimum, and TKIP and MIC and do not use LEAP if you don't have
too.
