Extreme Wireless Access Points Networks WiFi
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Managed Wi-Fi for our Washington DC headquarters. Have a 20,000 square foot office space on a single floor. The heat zone mapping functionality enabled us to set up the system using the minimum of access points, leaving no dead spots at all on the floor (despite the elevator shafts centrally located).
The cloud management console allows me to keep track of client machines on the networks and to change the password remotely if needed.
Pros
- Heat Mapping
- Multiple SSID creation/management
- remote cloud management
Cons
- Built in help could be easier to acces
- licensing could be explained better
Likelihood to Recommend
Works well for complex site layouts, as you can preplan the locations on a virtual heat map before placing the APs. Works well for single sites, haven't tried working on multiple sites, but that does seem a little over complex to me. Simple interface for setting up SSIDs so not too much technical expertise required. Little more complex if you want to custom brand a splash page for guest access though.
