Wi-Fi Access Points

The newest access points offer more than just Wi-Fi.  They come bundled with all types of new technologies depending on the vendor.

Software Defined Radio (SDR)

Allows the access point to automatically and dynamically choose the best frequency band based on evaluation of current RF conditions.  This means a dual radio access point can broadcast a 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz signal now and will not need to be replaced to broadcast two 5 Ghz signals in the future as the older devices are phased out.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

Virtual beacons make it less expensive and quicker to deploy bluetooth beacon technology since beacon placement is as simple as point-and-click on your facility floor plan. It does not require a physical beacon with a limited lifespan battery to be manually attached to your infrastructure.

IoT Gateway (Zigbee-based controller)

Building management system integrations allow real-time monitoring of temperature, energy and water use, remote meter reading, occupancy monitors, electronic locks and security cameras.

LTE Small Cells

This add-on option can extend or improve mobile phone coverage into hard-to-reach areas like basements and the interiors of large buildings.  Scalable small cells, at an enterprise Wi-Fi price point, enable mobile operators and enterprises to meet financial hurdles in previously cost-prohibitive locations.
