Also, if WiFi can't do better than 20 or 30s boot times, which I agree seems to be pretty normal among WiFi devices, then maybe WiFi is the wrong technology.

Could you suggest another wireless technology that could support the bandwidth, field management tasks, documented standards and security requirements while remaining off the shelf and accessible to teams? I honestly can't think of one.

I remember the 900mhz radios from the IFI days. I'll take wifi over that any day of the week.
