Business enterprises are adopting a mix and match approach in their technology requirements in light of the absence of a unified wireless architecture. The current setup in companies engaged in different industries, including the manufacturing sector, is that of a mix bag of technologies such as multiple bands of radio waves, cellular towers, sensor-based networks, WiFi, wireless Ethernet, satellite, WiMAX and WiFi that deliver different applications. This has resulted in an unsystematic deployment of technologies in an organization where a limited number of individuals can maximize or enjoy the benefits of the technologies. Such situation exists because a connected infrastructure is far from being a reality. Having one network that does everything would actually require more manpower hours, as integrating different technologies is not gong to be easy. It is important to come up with a plan in which a survey can establish the facility's topology. This would mean understanding the business requirements for an application that would convert the organization into an enterprise where everything is connected. Adopting unified communications will also mean finding the killer application that would provide real-time communications. For instance, Microsoft's Office Communication Server allows people to communicate in whatever mode they can, using Exchange Server 2007 as its central repository for voice, web conferencing, instant messaging, and e-mail. Another Microsoft application, called Presence, also ensures that communication can be done real-time. This is because Presence is connected to Microsoft Outlook, which makes it possible to verify if the other person is available on a particular day or hour. For manufacturers, the emphasis is on sharing data on real-time, which means utilizing wireless applications as a catalyst.
