Features of Enterprise Wifi-Solutions

Configuration and Management

It is easy to set up your business Wi-Fi network. You’ll need multiple access points to cover your entire building as well as outdoor area. However, manually configuring several access points can result in errors. Therefore, most business WLAN solution vendors provide a controller, switch, or manager. You can use the controller to configure just one device and the configuration will be replicated for all the access points.

Guest Access

Businesses might need to provide internet facility to their guests. For this purpose, they will need to separate guest traffic from employee traffic, which will also provide info on who uses the Wi-Fi network. The solution is to provide a Captive Portal, where guests can register or logon via their social media account. The advantage is it saves the hassles of managing a guest network such as creating temporary user accounts, producing and offering vouchers, etc. You can assign separate VLANs to separate your guest traffic from employee traffic.

Security

It is essential to protect your corporate Wi-Fi network to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to it. Most enterprise Wi-Fi solutions offer user authentication and encryption options. This may be enough for a home Wi-Fi setup, but corporate networks have additional concerns. Your employees will use different devices to login, so it is essential to simultaneously support various security options.
