Everything you need to know about how managed Wi-Fi helps you grow your business
Wi-Fi in Healthcare
The Role of Wi-Fi in Hospitals
Providing patients with Wi-Fi access presents a novel way for hospital foundations to not only elevate the patient and medical staff experience but also to open new fundraising horizons for hospitals and foundations.
Hospitals can create a Wi-Fi experience for each type of user: medical/non-medical staff, patients, and visitors—each with their own level of access rights, security, bandwidth consumption, and features.
According to IDC, by 2025 there could be 80 billion connected devices, and enterprises represent
a large portion of these numerous deployments. Thankfully, Wi-Fi technology is also evolving to meet the increased demand.
We recently surveyed 330 repondents to better understand typical guest Wi-Fi habits. The survey was designed to gather information about guest Wi-Fi use and what is expected.
Enterprises with physical locations can better engage with customers and generate more sales if they offer guest Wi-Fi with value-added marketing applications.
The more locations a distributed enterprise has, the more economic sense it makes to use a managed Wi-Fi service because the cost of servicing a widespread wireless infrastructure would be counterproductive.
Wi-Fi has a role to play in the 5G vision, one that leverages its existing indoor footprint and ecosystem. 5G will build on technologies and architectures which have been evolving in the unlicensed spectrum world, especially in Wi-Fi, as much as in cellular.
Big data analytics is an activity which is reliant upon Wi-Fi where individual users can be identified and followed, with integration to back office databases and applications such as customer experience management (CEM).
Managing Wi-Fi infrastructure properly requires a great deal of technical resources that could be used elsewhere in the organization. IT staff must stay on top of fast-evolving Wi-Fi industry standards, best practices, and ever-changing security threats.
Benefits of Managed Wi-Fi in Retail and Restaurants
The rise of omnichannel retail strategies has shown that stores are an integral part of the consumer experience, and guest Wi-Fi is the bridge that connects the physical and digital worlds.
Banks and financial institutions are starting to embrace the use of Wi-Fi for both engaging with their prospects and customers, without having to worry about compromising on the security of their systems.
