Don’t settle for wireless that doesn’t work at your office. Implementing wireless used be complex and difficult, especially if you needed more than one access point. As with any technology, wireless has become easier, faster, better, and less expensive as the technology has matured.
At JNT TEK, we’ve had great success with two brands, Meraki and Unifi. Meraki has some of the best wireless technology on the market with a rich set of features, great support, and an extremely reliable product. The company was purchase by Cisco and lives up to the Cisco brand, but it also comes with a Cisco price.
Unifi has a line of wireless products branded as Ubiquiti. They are reliable and feature rich, but only come with chat support. The price is far lower than many other name brands.
With either brand, you can setup multiple access points to cover a large area and all the access point will share the same wireless network name. When wireless devices move from one access point’s coverage area to another, the device will automatically switch to the closest access point.
