Oberon Prepares For Tomorrow Via Wireless AP Installations

Intro to Infrastructure

Wi-Fi has become an essential utility. Data centers, businesses, and residences everywhere rely on their networks to communicate and deliver data. Cutting-edge Wireless technologies like Wi-Fi 6 and 6E are also setting the stage for intelligent applications, like virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and more. While this is exciting, and for the most part beneficial to users, too many connected devices create spikes in network traffic.

The outcome? User experience suffers. Connection speeds slow down, website pages refuse to load, and the overall quality of the experience is lost. Cue the buffering wheel of doom. For businesses in the Enterprise market, this can be detrimental. Wi-Fi is required for these facilities to be operational. 

As bandwidth demands grow, infrastructure upgrades and replacements loom over the horizon. There are technologies and devices in the Wireless marketplace which can operate across various types of systems. Examples of high-use cases include:

• High-bandwidth applications

• High-resolution video streaming

• The Internet of Things (IoT)

• The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

• Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• Virtual Reality (VR)

• Augmented Reality (AR)

Devices that support these technologies benefit from a strong, reliable Wi-Fi connection. Meaning, customers in the Enterprise market may need to devise a plan on how to address growing bandwidth demands. Since a seamless connection requires having a robust infrastructure, technology integration is a great place for customers to start.

The good news? When upgrades are future-proof,  businesses and facilities are more likely able to enjoy Wi-Fi-enabled technologies. There are many options when it comes to improving performance, updating cabling infrastructure, and modernizing Wireless access point (APs) installation methods. It's just a matter of finding the right fit for every unique facility. 

Modern Installation Methods Make a Difference

The reimagining of infrastructure has encouraged newer, faster, and overall better ways of installing wireless equipment. Traditional wireless AP deployments are outdated and less desirable. Thus, facilities must discard old methods of installation if they want to evolve alongside new technologies.

A bigger conversation in the industry now surrounds installation alternatives, especially ones that can be deployed seamlessly, with better functionality and performance altogether. Designers, architects, contractors, and building owners want equipment that works well and looks good, too. Network planners want options that are scalable and able to change with the requirements.
