Wi-Fi architecture prioritized coverage in the past because a small percentage of the population used and depended on wireless to be productive and satisfied. But today, it is hard to find someone who doesn't use wireless regularly and often while using several devices, whether they're a guest, client, employee, or student.
Wireless networks have become much more complex to develop, implement, and support due to new 1:1 initiatives, BYOD, and breakthroughs such as the Internet of Things (IoT).
Wireless systems today demand a different set of capabilities than they did previously. There are some components that each wireless network must include to ensure both high-speed performance and air-tight security, regardless of how big or small the business is, the industry, or how they intend to utilize the Wi-Fi.
Important Features of Wi-Fi
Scalability
The demand for new wireless devices will only expand in the coming years. The network should start small, if necessary, but scale up as needed in terms of coverage and capacity without remodeling or building an entirely new network. Even if the organizations don't require it immediately, they will need it eventually.
Indoor and Outdoor coverage options
Even though users might believe they only require indoor Wi-Fi at first, they will probably want outdoor coverage in the future. For example, in areas like parking lots, courtyards, and so on. The wireless system must have the capacity to increase exterior coverage once it's been installed.
Ability to Measure Performance
With rising customer expectations, it's vital to measure performance from the end-perspective users regularly. This entails observing the end-users in real-time, including what devices they're using, the applications being using, and the state of the various networking components that could affect how those devices are utilized. Users must also be able to do proactive testing to prevent problems in advance.
