When looking to implement a Wi-Fi (WAN) system, it is important to ensure that the system has a few important features which include:
- Secure networking using the latest secure networking protocols
- Simplified management software
- Simultaneous Dual Mode radios allowing fully segmented voice/ data/ video traffic across the entire network
- Radio Frequency sweeping technology that disables rogue and ad hoc wireless devices not relevant to the network
- Fast roaming and seamless data packet transfer
- Quality of Service or QOS
A wireless LAN (WAN) system needs to be capable of delivering high-quality voice, multi-media and business applications while meeting stringent security requirements, delivering seamless mobility functionality, easily, and cost effectively. It must also be quick to install and simple to operate.
