Wireless
When it comes to the technology infrastructure running an office, the Wi-Fi that connects everyone to the internet is one of the most vital parts.
When your internet speed is fast, your office is as well. Wireless networks typically have a great deal of flexibility, which can translate into rapid deployment.
Most companies rely on cloud solutions for at least some of their daily workflow and it’s important to be able to smoothly connect to those platforms throughout the day.
Wi-Fi access points offer multiple advantages to offices that improve their wireless network range, speed, and experience.
Wireless Networking Provides Mobility & Flexibility

Meraki Next-Generation Wi-Fi
Cisco Meraki cloud-managed wireless access points are part of a portfolio of cloud-managed IT solutions built from the ground up for browser-based cloud management, providing scalable and intuitive centralized management. Meraki APs provide total visibility into your network, even usage down to the application level.
Built for performance, the new enterprise grade solutions deliver significantly faster connections, higher throughput, and greater user capacity for eliminating the latency and packet loss issues.
Addressing interference on a Wireless LAN/WAN has been increasing in complexity as more and more radios hit the airwaves. Meraki uses a dedicated 3rd radio in their access points to identify and measure both rogue APs and none Wi-Fi interference, then uses the data to coordinate channel management to avoid colliding packets.
With Meraki, it's the details that matter most with their game-changing features:
- RF Optimization: Third radio dedicated to security and RF management with cloud-based automatic RF optimization.
- Layer 7 Traffic Shaping: Classify hundreds of applications, prioritize productivity apps, and restrict or block recreational traffic.
- Cloud Management: Automatic reporting, seamless firmware updates, self provisioning for rapid deployment with Network-wide visibility and control.
- Presence Location Analytics: Compare performance across multiple locations, measure visitor trends over time, and track visitor capture rate, visit length, and more.
- Enterprise Security: Built-in antivirus scan (NAC), real time WIPS with forensics, DNS security with advanced license with 802.1X and native active directory integrations.
