Reliable, high-speed internet is just as important for workplaces as it is for your home. As more internet-enabled hardware becomes an essential part of modern offices and venues, staying connected is increasingly vital to the success of a business.
Having good internet is just one part of the equation. Just as integral is a reliable network that ensures a workplace’s internet gets to where it needs to go. That includes office equipment, POS systems, and customer Wi-Fi – all of which need to be readily accessible and secure.
Depending on your specific needs, ASUS has a range of business-ready networking devices that can tackle all sorts of workplace needs. From a traditional office environment to the humble coffee shop, every workplace benefits from Wi-Fi that gets the job done.
Business Wi-Fi mesh systems
Acting as the backbone of a modern Wi-Fi network is the mesh system. Consisting of multiple satellite units, a Wi-Fi mesh system delivers high-speed internet to all corners of a building.
They come in all shapes and sizes, starting with the ASUS ExpertWiFi EBM68, a Wi-Fi 6 mesh system ideal for small businesses. It supports up to 12 interconnected units for maximum coverage, letting up to 100 devices connect simultaneously at any time.
Unlike a regular consumer-facing router, the EBM68 includes several business-ready features out of the box. Instead of offering just one guest network for customers to use, it enables the creation of up to five separate SSIDs, each with its own set of rules.
This is particularly helpful for customer-facing workplaces, like hospitality venues. You can set one SSID for the business’ POS systems and devices, and another accessible to customers. It helps keep different groups of devices separate, making sure business devices are secure and can’t be accessed by visitors.
It also has the additional benefit of extra control over customers’ internet use. For example, the EBM68 lets you restrict guest network use to a specific amount of time or data allocation.
For even more flexibility, there are plenty of other reliable business networking options. These include the ExpertWiFi EBA63, which is suited to busy office spaces that need to connect many different devices at the same time. Another is the ExpertWiFi EBG19P router, which has eight PoE+ ports to hardwire various devices as needed.
Business Wi-Fi 7
To fully futureproof your business, Wi-Fi 7 is the way to go. Providing the fastest speeds, wider network lanes, higher-density 4K-QAM technology, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to further streamline device connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 is currently the best standard of wireless networking.
Wi-Fi 7 routers like the ASUS RT-BE92U are a perfect example of how the technology fits naturally into a work environment. With tri-band technology and up to 9,700Mbps throughput, it can deliver low-latency and high speeds to devices that need it.
Like the ExpertWiFi EBM68, the RT-BE92U can segment SSIDs to create a secure business network. Separate SSIDs for employees, customers, and IoT devices enhance the network’s security, so that only authorised users and devices can access each part of the network as needed.
ASUS has also equipped the RT-BE92U with a technology called “AiProtection“. More than just a smart parental control tool, AiProtection also proactively protects connected devices from online threats. It scans and removes vulnerabilities as they happen and can automatically block anything that could potentially harm your network.
For larger venues, especially those with both indoor and outdoor areas, the ZenWiFi BD4 Outdoor Wi-Fi 7 mesh system fits the bill. Equipped with an IP65 weather resistance rating, it can handle outdoor conditions, helping connect devices in and out of buildings.
Heavy-duty business networking
The larger the business and office space, the greater the networking needs. For larger, high-density workplaces, access points like the EBA73 Wall units support up to 300 devices at any given time. That capability makes it tailor-made for university buildings and larger offices, keeping everyone connected.
There’s also the ExpertWiFi EBA76 Wi-Fi 7 access point, which supports up to 9,400Mbps with the 6GHz network band using super-wide 320MHz bandwidth. A mix of PoE and USB-C power options makes it a versatile networking option for heavy-duty networking needs.
All of this is streamlined courtesy of the ASUS Site Manager platform. It’s a tool that enables remote management of networks at no added cost, providing a secure environment to keep businesses running smoothly.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how big your workplace or business is, it’s always worth taking your networking needs seriously. Fortunately, with this range of ASUS networking gear, keeping everyone connected is simpler than ever.
