Network Essentials Wireless Network Solutions
Proliferation of mobile devices have made wireless networking much more important in businesses today, not only for availability but for security and compliance. 
Wireless systems can be as simple as a generic SOHO [Small Office / Home Office (WAP)] Wireless Access Point or a Centrally Managed Wireless Network.
SOHO Wireless Access Points are great for home users and small offices where few wireless devices are connected and security is not a primary concern.
Centrally Managed Wireless Networks are a good option in almost every other situation where security is a primary concern, multiple users will connect, guest networks are needed, large geographic areas are involved, compliance concerns or where remote management support is needed. Centrally managed networks can be relatively cost effective and will scale to as complex as having the ability to manage different zones based on bandwidth limits, guest access or assigning cost / usage.
One Example of a Ruckus Wireless Centrally Managed Wireless Network, Network Essentials has implemented is at the Grand Atrium at 200 PeachTree Street in Atlanta. The meeting complex is divided up into meeting rooms, trade-show space, flexible office space and open event space. The owners needed the flexibility to dynamically manage Wi-Fi access to all of the space and change it on the fly. Network Essentials Wireless Network Engineers designed and installed a Wireless Network Solution that allows internal 200 Peachtree employees to allocate bandwidth, decide how or if to charge for usage and assign security and print out access passes in minutes. Network Essentials Engineering Staff also has secure remote access to assist in the event training or advanced changes are needed.
