Your Business Needs Ubiquiti Solutions
Ubiquiti is an IT and network infrastructure company that specialises in enterprise internet solutions. They offer both wired and wireless internet solutions and their products include wireless access points, routers, CCTV cameras, and more. These solutions can all be beneficial to your business, but for the purposes of this article, we will focus on their wireless suite of products (and wireless internet as a whole). Keep on reading if you want to learn more.
What Ubiquiti Can Do for Your Business
Ubiquity is not a singular product or service. Instead, it offers a variety of different solutions that can connect your business wirelessly and enhance connectivity for all devices. When you use internet at home, you probably only use a single router and one or two Wi-Fi range extenders (if you live in a big house), whereas Ubiquity’s solutions offer integrated network coverage through a series of devices that are installed throughout the office. Unlike at home, however, a simple router failure will not leave your business without internet until the router can be repaired. Instead, the various routers and switches are connected in such a way as to create a few levels of redundancy (i.e., if only Router A fails, Router C and Router B would still work).
These solutions can be scaled to the needs of your business, but they are also compatible with many pre-existing solutions (so you can upgrade to Ubiquity without having to worry about replacing the entire system). They were also designed to be user friendly, so you won’t have to be a tech genius to make needed changes to the system (or alternatively, take staff away from their critical daily functions to spend an inordinate amount of time on training to use a system that wasn’t that complex to begin with).
The Benefits of Wireless Internet
Wireless internet is an internet service that is provided through wireless technology. Traditional internet setups require a lot of cabling (either copper or fiber), which is where the term “wired” (as used in this context) comes from. However, wireless internet isn’t usually directly delivered straight to your devices (modern smartphones excluded) from your ISP, and instead uses a wireless router that accepts a signal from the ISP and then broadcasts it to other devices in close proximity to enable internet use on them.
A wireless network setup offers a few distinct advantages of traditionally wired internet setups (including copper cabling and fiber). Some of these advantages stem from the inherent properties of a wireless setup, while others relate more to installation costs and maintenance. When you review Ubiquiti as a potential networking solution for your business, it is important to keep these advantages and benefits in mind.
These are the biggest benefits of wireless internet:
- No wires. The main feature of wireless internet also happens to be one of its biggest benefits. Wires and cabling can get in the way and become an unsightly mess, but this can be avoided with wireless solutions.
- User friendly. Wireless solutions often take a plug-and-play approach to setup, so the most you would need to do is put the devices in the best spots and switch them on.
- Better connectivity. Some areas receive neither copper cabling nor fiber, so wireless internet is the only solution in such instances. That means this network type effectively has more coverage than its wired peers.
- Wireless solutions are often more affordable than their peers due to requiring less setting up by professionals. A hidden but related advantage is that less maintenance has to be done, as cables won’t need to be replaced as often.
- You can scale and adapt these solutions to the needs of your business. You can move and change network configurations to optimise connectivity in the office without having to plug and unplug hundreds of wires each time.
