Wi-Fi for a corporate office
How to give staff per-user access and visitors a separate guest network, with management kept on-premise.
What the site needs
- Meeting rooms and open-plan floors fill with laptops and phones on video calls at the same time.
- A shared Wi-Fi password is not acceptable for staff access.
- Many companies require the management system to run inside their own network.
Where to use Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6
Wi-Fi 7
Meeting rooms, open-plan floors and boardrooms
Many laptops on video calls at once need the extra 6 GHz capacity.
Wi-Fi 6
Pantries, store rooms, reception and lower-density floors
Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 gives full coverage where few people work at a time.
How to do it
Capacity for meeting rooms
Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 ceiling access points serve dense floors and meeting rooms.
Per-user staff access
Staff authenticate with 802.1X against RADIUS through Newbridge IAM, so access follows the person, not a shared key.
Separate guest network
Visitors use a captive portal on an isolated network with no route to company systems.
On-premise management
The Controller runs on an on-premise appliance, with the same console and features as the cloud version.
