Probably you have no choice to install the wireless PCI adapters when you need to install the wireless adapters into the desktop computers in workshop where many people use the same computers together. By installing the wireless PCI adapter into the desktop such as Linksys WMP300M or TP-Link TL-WN951N, technician only allows to do the jobs. But if you install the wireless USB adapter (even though it is easier to do without opening the computer case), USB adapter is easy to remove by unauthorized person. So that’s why installing wireless PCI adapter is preferred than USB adapter.
Generally in the industrial workshops many people use one or couples of computers together to search the components or stock items from the computers that connect to the company’s database system –using such kind of warehouse and maintenance application modules. Generally they also input the task jobs into the database system, or input the progress of the current maintenance scheduled jobs, or closing the status of completed jobs. In the harsh environment like the warehouses, installing the network cable might not be possible. Wireless connectivity sometimes helps the problems.
