There are a whole host of Zigbee mesh sensors in the facilities management space. Way easier to deploy and less expensive than a device that connects to 802.11a/b/g/n, and most of the sensors are battery powered with a life of up to five years.

From what I’ve gathered – all of the ones on the market are 2.4GHz only with a majority capable of 802.11g only – a couple exceptions I’ve found are 802.11n capable with WPA2 Enterprise security as well.
