Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points as access points for business customers. First we look at the need for use and capacity. Then a measurement follows, so that we can place the APs in the office or room where wifi is needed. Through these actions we ensure good coverage of the wifi, and this ensures that everyone in the company has a good, safe and reliable connection to the network and/or the internet. Different SSIDs are also created for the wish that is there. Often at least 2 networks, 1 for the company network, and a guest wifi.
