2. WiFi Usage is Exploding
By 2020 Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi is set to grow to $3.3 billion
Wi-Fi networks are now viewed as strategic business assets that can improve the customer and employee experience, support sales growth, and boost the bottom line.
Wi-Fi networks are increasingly viewed as a tool for business leaders. Not only can secure Wi-Fi provide flexibility for employees to connect from anywhere on the premises, it can provide an improved experience for customers and guest. Enterprise-grade Wi-Fi solutions also provide a unique opportunity for you to promote your brand to your visiting guests.
