Why Your Business Needs Managed Wi-Fi?

Managed WiFi is an outsourced wireless network that connects tenants, visitors, and customers to the Internet through multiple access points within a building, ensuring property-wide access. It's a cloud-based technology, which means that Internet providers remotely control and troubleshoot a business' WiFi network, eliminating the need for an on-site IT department to do so.

A managed WLAN solution will cover the entire WLAN lifecycle, from developing, engineering, and deploying wireless systems to managing the entire network. Cloud managed Wi-Fi provides centralised management for user authentication and network control through a flexible subscription-based payment model.

Why do Businesses need Managed Wi-Fi?

The huge increase in the usage of smart mobile devices (there are currently over 2 billion smartphones worldwide) and the emergence of the BYOD (bring your own device) community has resulted in a corresponding increase in the demand for connectivity. Wi-Fi networks are now expected to link an increasing number of devices in a secure and timely manner.

Add in the massive increase in Internet use due to social media and other web-based applications, and you have a recipe for disaster. Employees expect high-speed networking to be available at all times and on every laptop, in addition to email access.

Connectivity is essential for running a competitive company, whether you have a small office or a large corporation with many locations. Employees can step away from their desks and be more versatile with their work environment thanks to a well-managed wireless ecosystem, which generates and fosters a more positive work culture.

4 Benefits of Managed Wi-Fi

Below are the major benefits on Managed Wi-Fi networks -

1. Cost Effective:

   Controlled WiFi is provided by an Internet provider, allowing companies to save money by eliminating the need for an on-site IT department to monitor and troubleshoot a property's WiFi while also gaining access to cutting-edge wireless technology and cyber-security experts.

2. Scalability

   Scalability is one of the most important advantages of regulated WiFi networks. Providers may use managed WiFi to simply add new access points or WiFi extenders to areas of a building where they find bad connectivity – before users even notice. Huge multi-unit apartment complexes, large national warehouse and chain-retail stores, hospitals, and enterprise offices will all benefit from this.

3. Reliability

   Nothing ruins efficiency more than a bad WiFi link (or one that is spotty). For several companies, this will include making their IT department diagnose the problem or enlisting the help of a professional. Those that use a Managed WiFi network have access to 24/7 dedicated support, which diagnoses, troubleshoots, and fixes WiFi issues remotely – without the need to come on-site.

4. Security

   In terms of protection, managed WiFi is a better choice than an internal IT department since it enables companies to outsource to qualified professionals. These security experts are well-versed in the best practises for configuring the most reliable networks and administrative controls. They will verify links and keep an eye on networks for possible threats and breaches.
