There is not a one solution that applies to all. Businesses mostly benefit from high powered, high density enabled wireless access points strategically placed in area’s that best suit coverage requirements. Centralized management with access policies for employees and guests provide data protection while limiting wireless usage. Analytics can then be layered on top provide a data trail for auditing and regulatory compliance.
Home wireless users are a different story. In the home exposed cables are unsightly. For home wireless the placement of 1 or 2 specific access points capable of mesh behaviour is often the best solution. In a mesh network not all access points require a physical cable to the internet. Instead, they can access a wireless network and broadcast a wireless network to mobile devices at the same time. These same devices can limit users by time and bandwidth to ensure the wireless network is shared equally and even limited in some cases.
Extended and security a wireless network is something we receive a lot of questions about. If you’d like to know please reach out and email us your questions.
