A branch office can be defined as any location that is designated as a workspace away from the headquarters. Employees that are located at these branch offices should be able to have the same level of access to documents and services similar to those employees at the central corporate site. The size of the branch office is a deciding factor in the design and deployment of the WLAN infrastructure at the branch office.
