FAQs ## 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.  ## Common Mobility & WiFi Challenges - Mobility - Wi-Fi Mobility Wi-Fi ![How it works_Mobility Challenges](https://www.ineteng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/Stock%20Images/How%20it%20works_Mobility%20Challenges.png?width=940&name=How%20it%20works_Mobility%20Challenges.png) ### Mobility Challenges COVID-19 rapidly changed how and where we work and its impact on the workforce will have a lasting effect.

As wireless technology continues to evolve; we are seeing the need for more frequent technology refreshes to maintain secure networks. An ideal refresh rate would be every 3 years, but we see many organizations are at the 5–7-year mark. More frequent refreshes are relevant because as technology advances, so do the cyber threats. Outdated hardware or software could make an organization more susceptible to a breach. Where privileged data is concerned, a breach could result in a big fine.     #### How will Wifi6/6e integrate with 5g tech? The IEEE is currently developing a standard that will create WiFi6e and 5G interoperability. According to the IEEE, the key is to “define a mechanism for communications among entities operating in licensed and unlicensed spectrum.” To simplify this statement, they are working to find a way for licensed (5G) and unlicensed (WiFi6) to communicate seamlessly. So, if a doctor is looking at a 3D image on their tablet, they could move from one space to another and from one device to another, securely and efficiently. Ultimately, the goal is to enable interoperability among devices designed for licensed (5G) and unlicensed (WiFi6) frequency spectrum, including Wi-Fi and LTE devices.    Currently, the IEEE is developing a 1932.1 standard layer 1 5G spectrum to WiFi6e handoff. This handoff solution will embed into another solution that controls centralized authentication.

Software Defined Access (SDA) takes the complexity out of network management. Achieve more efficiency, security and consistency across wired, wireless, and VPN infrastructure by automating user policy and network access with [Cisco's SDA](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/enterprise-networks/software-defined-access/index.html?socialshare=lightbox-sd-access). SDA offers: - End to end segmentation - Network Automation - Consistent User Experience #### How do I secure my mobile users' devices? First, you'll want to consider what type of devices you're needing to secure. For example, if you need to secure your mobile employees laptops, you'll want to consider these solutions: **VPN** Cisco AnyConnect Mobility Client   **Endpoint Security ** We recommend Cisco Secure Endpoints (previous AMP for endpoints)   **Two-factor or Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)** DUO ** Internet Security** SecureX **Email Protection** Cloud Mailbox Defense     #### What is Zero Trust Security? A traditional security model would assume anything inside your network is safe and can automatically be trusted. Zero Trust Security is a security method that considers all resources coming onto your network to be external and a potential threat that needs to be verified, even if they aren't. In today's remote, roaming, and mobile workers, resources and devices inside the network hold just as much opportunity for compromise than ever. A Zero Trust Security approach helps secure access across your applications and network, giving you the visibility you need to help reduce your attack surface.  Trust nothing. When you consider your workforce, applications and devices as resources where trust has to first be established, enforced, and continually verified, you make it harder for hackers to breach and attack your network. ## Mobility & WiFi Resources [![Image](https://www.ineteng.com/hubfs/assets/spacers/16x9.png) ](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/transitioning-from-sprs-to-cmmc-level-1?hsLang=en) Blog #### ## [Transitioning from SPRS to CMMC Level 1: What Government Contractors Need to Know About the New Compliance Path](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/transitioning-from-sprs-to-cmmc-level-1?hsLang=en) Learn how government contractors can transition from SPRS to CMMC Level 1, ensuring compliance with new cybersecurity requirements for DoD contracts in 2025.  [Read Blog](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/transitioning-from-sprs-to-cmmc-level-1?hsLang=en) [![Image](https://www.ineteng.com/hubfs/assets/spacers/16x9.png) ](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/building-an-adaptable-cybersecurity-program-in-2025-the-future-of-digital-defense?hsLang=en) Blog #### ## [Building an Adaptable Cybersecurity Program in 2025: The Future of Digital Defense](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/building-an-adaptable-cybersecurity-program-in-2025-the-future-of-digital-defense?hsLang=en) Learn how to build an adaptable cybersecurity program for 2025 with risk-based strategies, Zero Trust, AI, cloud security, and continuous improvement.  [Read Blog](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/building-an-adaptable-cybersecurity-program-in-2025-the-future-of-digital-defense?hsLang=en) [![Image](https://www.ineteng.com/hubfs/assets/spacers/16x9.png) ](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/cisco-unveils-ai-pods-the-future-of-ai-data-centers?hsLang=en) Blog #### ## [Cisco Unveils AI Pods: The Future of AI Data Centers](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/cisco-unveils-ai-pods-the-future-of-ai-data-centers?hsLang=en) Learn how Cisco’s AI Pods boost data center performance and facilitate the simple deployment of artificial intelligence workloads with expert support from Internetwork Engineering, a Presidio company.  [Read Blog](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/cisco-unveils-ai-pods-the-future-of-ai-data-centers?hsLang=en) [View All](https://www.ineteng.com/technology-resources?hsLang=en) ## Can Your Wireless Network Meet Growing Mobility Demands? #### Ensure a wireless experience that goes beyond today's standards with reliable connectivity, improved speed, and Zero-trust security.
