If you’re looking to purchase Wi-Fi for your business, you’ll need to think about a number of things before you take the next step. Let’s look at what you should have on your wish list.
Complete coverage: Any wireless network will need to be available around the whole office, with no “dead zones.”
Secure guest access: Guests and contractors need temporary Internet access you can revoke once it’s no longer needed.
Ease of use: Your local IT staff need to understand, install, configure and manage your wireless LAN setup easily.
Access for BYOD users: Employees, contractors and guests who want to use their own smartphones or tablets also need Wi-Fi access.
Cost effectiveness: Consider the price/performance ratio, as you’ll obviously be looking for good value for your money.
Scalability: A solution needs to grow when required with additional access points or advanced technologies if your requirements increase.
