Enterprise Wi-Fi Guide
Enterprise Wi-Fi is a discipline of its own. This guide covers how to design wireless that stays fast and secure as your organisation grows.
Plan with a site survey
A site survey determines how many access points you need and where to place them, accounting for walls, materials, and interference. It is the foundation of reliable coverage without dead zones.
Design for capacity
High-density areas like meeting rooms need capacity planning, not just coverage. Proper channel planning and access-point placement keep Wi-Fi fast even when many devices connect at once.
Secure and segment
Use WPA3 or WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication, and separate guest and IoT devices onto isolated networks so they cannot reach corporate systems.
Key Takeaways
- Always start with a site survey.
- Design for device density, not just coverage.
- Secure with 802.1X and isolate guest and IoT traffic.
