Improve enterprise network WiFi experience


2023-06-06

WiFi roaming in the era of mobile office has become a daily routine, have you ever encountered a situation where network disconnection leads to business interruption? This is often because the IP subnet we belong to has changed during the mobile process, and the terminal has to obtain a new IP address to adapt to the new gateway, and we even need to re-execute the tedious security authentication for this…

When evaluating different enterprise wireless networks in the context of your day-to-day business needs, there are many considerations to take into account. A managed services provider can help review the current network setup, identify any gaps or needs that an enterprise-grade network can provide, and recommend the best network based on those requirements and your budget.

There are several ways to improve the enterprise network WiFi experience.

Here are some tips:

  • Proactive network optimization: This can help improve the user experience by ensuring that the network is running at peak performance. This can be done by monitoring the network for issues and addressing them before they become major problems.
  • Proper prioritization of essential traffic: This can help ensure that critical applications and services receive the bandwidth they need to function properly.
  • Load balancing and load sharing: These services can improve performance by distributing traffic across multiple network paths, enabling more efficient bandwidth usage.
  • Modernizing enterprise networks: Software-defined networking, artificial intelligence, cloud, new Wi-Fi and 5G options, and network security can combine to improve performance of traditional networks.

How to Choose Enterprise Network APs(wireless access points)?

Here are some factors to consider when choosing an enterprise network AP:

Intelligence: Does your video conference or video stream sometimes turn “choppy” even if your Internet connection is strong? Look for an AP that has intelligence built-in to optimize traffic flow and ensure that your applications perform well.

Coverage: Before you start building your network, you need to conduct a site survey first. This will help you determine how many APs you need and where they should be placed. You also need to consider the type of environment you are working in. For example, if you are working in a warehouse or factory, you may need more APs than if you are working in an office.

Capacity: You need to make sure that your network is designed for capacity. All applications perform differently, so it is important to choose an AP that can handle the traffic load of your specific applications.

Security: Security is always a concern when it comes to wireless networks. Look for an AP that has built-in security features such as WPA2 encryption and MAC address filtering

Enterprise WiFi Roaming Enabled by Distributed Gateways

Optimize the WiFi experience not just by choosing a network AP, but by the overall network architecture.

When we compare the network models of cloud and campus, we can find that, although there are some differences in the scale and speed of migration/movement, etc., the migration process of virtual machines and containers in the cloud is highly similar to the roaming of wireless terminals in the enterprise networking, both of which equally require that the IP/MAC of the moved terminals cannot change.

The distributed gateway design in the cloud network provides a good idea for the traditional campus network architecture innovation.

The distributed gateway design in the cloud network

Asterfusion cloud-based enterprise networks draw on the concept of distributed gateways in cloud networks based on full three-layer IP routing networking: gateways for a subnet exist on each access switch in a distributed form. This can make full use of the capability of each access switch, allowing all cross-subnet forwarding actions to be completed on the nearest switch. The gateway function no longer becomes a potential risk of overwhelming one device in the network, while significantly improving the forwarding efficiency of the whole network.
