Managed Wi-Fi is simply outsourced management of a wireless network that allows residents, guests, or customers to connect to the internet via multiple access points in a building, ensuring property-wide access.

Let’s look at a use case to get a better idea.

Online giants have taken over the market, leaving brick-and-mortar stores with no option but to hurriedly adapt to changing customer needs. The booming smartphone and handheld devices market has meant that retail and restaurant consumers now rely on Wi-Fi services as a part of their digital journey and purchasing decision. WLAN networks therefore have to be the right size, secure, ubiquitous, and support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) for both employees and guests with specific access rights for each category.

This situation is pushing retail and restaurant businesses to leverage Wi-Fi to engage customers and monetize IT infrastructure as an important part of their commercial strategy. This makes it even more important to ensure that your Wi-Fi network is reliable, so you can reliably collect customer data. In turn, well-managed Wi-Fi helps you turn collected data into relevant, actionable insights and tangible business outcomes.

However, IT teams are finding it challenging to cope with the rapid pace of change, daunting technological complexity, and internal customer demands. The diversity and proliferation of devices, range of operating systems, security threats, new business requirements, technology lifecycle, and IoT all present considerable challenges for understaffed IT departments struggling to keep up. That’s why more and more retailers and restaurants are outsourcing the management of their Wi-Fi access and complete infrastructure to service specialists, allowing them to focus all their attention on managing their core business. What’s more, managed Wi-Fi services can help you ensure that users don’t misuse bandwidth by checking access.
