EXPERT RESPONSE
Wireless access is not really the problem. You have this problem for all
users on your network. For computers in your local space that are hardwired,
you can set them up for automatic updating, or run around and update
them all manually when you need to. It is difficult to run around and apply
updates to remote users whether they use wireless, dial-up or Internet
connection.
What you need is a desktop management system, such as Microsoft's SMS or
CA's Unicenter. As noted in other answers, mention of a product name does
not imply endorsement. There are many such products in this line of software
and you should do your own evaluation to determine which is best for your
own application.
