“We just don’t have the budget right now.” Over the years, this has been a very common response when speaking to customers about purchasing an enterprise grade wireless network. However, what if I told you there’s an affordable solution to this problem, that doesn’t require any large, up front capital costs?

Fast, secure Wi-Fi—it’s what every business wants and needs today. Unfortunately, as technology has evolved, getting the performance and security you need has only become harder to achieve, maintain, and afford.

Technology is everywhere--entwined in almost every part of our culture. It affects how we live, work, play, and most importantly learn. With mobile and other wireless devices like the IoT becoming an increasing requirement across every industry today, it only makes sense that our schools are also effectively deploying mobile technology in the classroom. However, for many schools, implementing the latest technology is a difficult strategy to navigate.

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace (every 12-18 months), your Wi-Fi network must also evolve to maintain optimal performance and security. This is easier said than done.

There’s a classic song by the band Cinderella that I’m sure we’ve all heard before…maybe. The song I’m referring to is titled, “You don’t know what you got (Till It’s Gone)” and that was definitely the case for me the other night.

Network management systems are a critical part of every wireless system, so much so that we thought a part 2 was in order.  In this week's episode, we circle back to reveal a couple more features that should come standard with any network management system.

Can you imagine going anywhere today and not having electricity? I know I can’t. Electricity is a fundamental utility that everyone—without any thought, expects to be available. Whether it’s a school, a bank, a hospital, a hotel, a warehouse, an office building or even your favorite restaurant, the idea of not having electricity just sounds ridiculous. Electricity is a mission-critical service, and like electricity, providing fast, secure and reliable Wi-Fi access has also become a mission-critical service.

Wi-Fi, like electricity, has become a common utility that every business relies on today. However, there are two critical aspects about Wi-Fi that have changed. First, the way we use wireless has evolved and two because of how we use it today, Wi-Fi has become increasingly more complex to design, deploy and manage. While there are a number of things that can go wrong, in this week's episode, we want to discuss three of the biggest Wi-Fi problems we see and what you can do to solve them.
