Why WiFi6 Should Be a Part of Your Mobility Strategy

Growing mobility demands change how we build networks.

With increasing user demands for mobile access to applications, data, and services, WiFi6 should be a part of your mobility strategy. WiFi6 can help organizations rethink how networks are built to provide ease of support and more speed, bandwidth, and security.

This is especially true for high-density environments - locations with sizable crowds and/or lots of devices. Examples include stadiums and auditoriums, schools, shopping centers, hospitals, office buildings and manufacturing facilities. WiFi6 can provide a better user experience with seamless roaming, faster connections, and more security and control.

Mobility & Wi-Fi Offerings

To make sure your mobility strategy supports everything from WiFi6 to 5G and beyond, get started with one of our wireless surveys or assessments.

Wireless Site Survey

Have you experienced spotty coverage, frustratingly poor connections, or interference on your Wi-Fi network? These are all signs that you need a Wireless Site Survey from the experts at IE. We use advanced RF analysis tools to analyze signal strength and interference (noise) for maximum throughput and coverage based on your specific location. New Wi-Fi equipment won't fix a poor design so talk to our wireless experts before investing in a new wireless network and be sure to ask about our wireless performance guarantee!
