The Introduction:

In today’s fast-paced world, enterprise and mobile professionals’ expectations are growing. They require instant access to information, wherever they are and expect to continue working, uninterrupted, as they move from place to place. To address these growing needs, solutions are required for enterprises that enable easy corporate visitor access and instant creation of hot spots in small, medium and large venues.

The Challenge:

Enterprise mobility is no longer a luxury for the road warrior or the select few - it is increasingly a requirement for productivity at every stage of an organization. Seamless Internet and network access means that visitors can now enhance their presentations with remote live demos, video conferencing or other tools that can make meetings more productive. However to ensure seamless connectivity and accessibility with security is becoming a challenge for IT and network teams.

The Solution:

Using Proxim’s ORiNOCO® AP-8100 enterprises can now offer Internet access to employees, customers, suppliers and business partners—without sacrificing the integrity of the corporate network. AP-8100 access points create a secure wireless LAN that supports 802.11a/b/g/n and provides additional functionality in public areas such as lobbies, cafeterias and conference rooms. With the Multiple and Single SSID assignment feature a number of groups can be maintained under a single AP network as well as different wireless clients belonging to different service sets (SSIDs) can access the wireless network from one single AP device with a single SSID respectively.

Empowered with the 8100, corporate employees, visitors and other stake holders don’t have to worry about changing their computer settings to access the Internet or set up a secure VPN connection to their own corporate networks. Thereby minimizing the need for IT support and providing access to vital data in all types of situations.
