Requirement: WLAN in Branches without IT Personnel

Enterprises, chain-store operators, banks and the public sector often wish for the efficiency and productivity advantages of wireless LAN for their branches. However, they are presented with a particular challenge here: Whereas the headquarters has an entire IT department to install and service the networks, branch offices generally do not have their own network technician.


Solution: Smart WLAN Controllers from LANCOM

WLAN Controllers from LANCOM give companies the opportunity of expanding their WLAN infrastructure to include branch offices without IT personnel. Why? Installed at company headquarters, the WLAN Controller provides fully automatic configuration and maintenance of networks located at the branch offices.

 


 

  • The WLAN Controller handles the configuration of all new access points in the network automatically. If a secured connection is available, then this is possible at remote sites as well.
  • Security standards are defined centrally and, without any further input from an administrator, they are transferred to the entire installation.
  • Even without local networking expertise, branch offices benefit to the full from a Wireless LAN.
