WPA Enterprise is where you have a username and password to connect to a WiFi network. Each user would get their own username and password. You tend to only find this on company WiFi networks and never at home where you use the easier to administer WPA PreSharedKey system which is just a single password for everybody.
The reasoning being that if you're at home then the number of WiFi devices is fairly low and if really necessary, you can go around and change the password on all of them without too much hassle. In a company that might not be true and it'd be painful to go around to every laptop, PDA and cell phone changing the password because somebody left the company and now needs to be locked out.
Not many consumer devices actually support WPA Enterprise. They're capable of doing it but they generally don't have the UI to be able to alter the settings necessary.
