IoT Network
Transform and scale your network to securely accommodate the growing use of Internet of Things (IoT) integrations.
Why Do You Need an IoT Ready Network?
An IoT Network allows interconnected devices to communicate with others autonomously, or without human involvement. It makes it possible for tech to connect and exchange data with similar devices over the internet. IoT devices can be anything from smart label sensors for products, activity trackers in healthcare that help develop targeted patient care plans, manufacturing sensors that give an instant overview of key indicators for failing machines or equipment, to retail using smart technology to keep accurate inventory records.

IoT Assessments
To make sure your network is IoT ready, get started with one of our assessments.
WLAN Assessment
We'll begin your WLAN Assessment by understanding the locations, users, devices, and traffic you need to support. Then we'll analyze your current wireless network performance with the goal of identifying reliability, interference, and coverage issues. Once we've identified any issues, we will make recommendations for best practices and help you resolve those outstanding issues. Wireless Assessments are available for indoor and outdoor WLAN as well as integration with 4G, 5G and LTE.

Enterprise Networking
Is your network scalable enough to support IoT initiatives?
Your network traffic is growing right along with your business. As more devices are coming online, you'll need to optimize your enterprise network to be IoT ready.
MEET GROWING MOBILITY DEMANDS.
Mobility & WiFi
Faster connections, capacity, and control are essential for meeting today's mobility demands and IoT capacity.
Can your network provide the "Three C's" that are needed to support your mobility strategy?
- Connectivty
- Capacity
- Control
As mobility demands increase, how we build our networks has to change to support faster speeds and better security. WiFi6 can help address the challenges that arise out of a need for more mobile access to applications, data, and services.
INTELLIGENTLY CONTROL YOUR NETORK.
Software Defined Networking (SDN)
Push network and security policies to all network devices simultaneously.
SDN can better prepare your network for IoT by adding the agility and scalability needed to process, transfer, and secure data. Get started today developing a secure IoT infrastructure with SDN by ensuring consistent network and security policies for IoT devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I secure any device from anywhere?
Unlike BYOD, which covers humans connecting to the network via a device, IoT covers devices connecting to the network and to each other via an internet connection autonomously. We often see customers expect security to be engrained in any device or solution, and that it should deploy automatically. While that would be amazing, it's not the case.
You'll need someone who can configure the security deployment of your devices, and that protocol should be a part of your overall network policy. This applies to all networking solutions, not just security. This goes hand-in-hand with your networking policy development. You must define what you want to happen when someone (or something) joins your network. Whether it be a human or a device using the internet to connect to other, your policy should automatically deploy.
