CCAwireless is installing wireless 802.11b LANs in Public libraries to serve two independent needs. Some libraries have recognized the need for patrons to be able to connect to the Internet with their own laptop computer using the library high-speed connection. This gives them the ability to conduct their research by using the library database and be attached to the Internet from anywhere within the library's space.

Others have used the wireless LAN's to provide additional flexibility to provision, move or install new workstations without installing costly additional Cat5 drops. Other important uses are to swiftly setup labs without the use of unsightly hubs and wiring in the conference spaces.

New applications are being developed to take wireless enabled laptop computers with scanning capabilities to the book racks. Inventory and book replenishing is accomplished through the wireless LAN. By bringing these administrative tasks to these areas, books can be scanned and logged in thru the wireless network, saving the library an enormous amount of staff time.
