DELIVERING BUSINESS-CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES: WHAT’S BEYOND WI-FI?

Wi-Fi has become a valuable tool for nearly all commercial organizations, from small businesses to sprawling, multinational conglomerates. But as the number—and diversity—of devices, applications and users—proliferate, Wi-Fi’s weaknesses and limitations have been exposed, putting tremendous pressure on organizations to quell user frustration, enhance productivity and improve customer experience. This has been particularly apparent in settings where unified communications across wider ranges and in diverse environments has become essential to businesses’ success. From large manufacturing facilities that require connection while moving from floor to floor, to sprawling resorts and college campuses where Wi-Fi coverage across the entire property is essential - let’s face it, Wi-Fi was not engineered to support these types of business-critical communications.

This whitepaper looks at the reasons for commercial Wi-Fi’s shortcomings, the impact of its inefficiency and inadequate performance and why organizations should consider a new approach to meet growing bandwidth, communications, and collaboration needs.
