Additional features wireless gateways enterprise Wireless gateways for enterprise have wider signal range. Can reach more user. Wireless gateways for enterprise usually use wireless access point while wireless gateways for home use router. Router can reach less user but have faster data transfer rate. Wireless gateways enterprise can reach more and have wider coverage but average data transfer rate. Wireless gateways enterprise have own wireless intrusion detection system.
Why WAP Worth The Additional Cost? Worth for enterprise or business use. Eg : Company building, university. Use single package of internet service provider for every access point installed in building. Additional cost only for the installation, but affordable for monthly use.
