Best Business Wireless Network Installation

Small business WiFi matters and with the right wireless access point your business WiFi can be as strong as any enterprise WiFi network. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right access point model for your small business WiFi network including cost, ease of use, and capabilities. Not all access points are built the same and the features you may get with one manufacturer may not come with another. Different access points are meant for different purposes and environments and sometimes an access point that’s recommended for a bar or restaurant would not be ideal for a medical office or warehouse. If you’re looking to upgrade your current business WiFi or looking to build a completely new network, this article will offer some insight into which wireless access point model is best for your business.

Many enterprise grade access point models require controllers to act as a central brain for all the access points on the network. Some controllers may be on-site while others can be in the cloud. Typically these types of access points may require additional network equipment including routers or firewalls for network management, switches for power, and mounting brackets for ceiling or wall mounting. A small business WiFi network may be more expensive than the cost of a mesh-WiFi system you can get from a big-box retailer but the features and capabilities are very much worth the cost. In most cases, if a business is exploring an enterprise-style WiFi network it is because the max capabilities of a mesh-WiFi system has been reached and an upgrade is needed.

Ubiquiti U6 Long Range Access Point

Ubiquiti is a fan favorite when it comes to affordable WiFi access points for small businesses and their new Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Long-Range does not disappoint. This access point utilizes WiFi 6 technology and can offer data transfer rates of up to 2.4 Gbps on the 5 GHz channel. With 4 x 4 MIMO, this access point can support high speed data transfers to a large number of simultaneously connected devices. In a small business environment where multiple devices are using WiFi for video conferencing or other high bandwidth activities, this access point should perform flawlessly. Ubiquiti’s one downfall is their performance in high density environments where a very large crowd is gathered in a small area.

One of Ubiquiti’s top selling points is their low cost of entry, easy setup and customization options. A single Ubiquiti access point can work in standalone mode but if more than 1 access point is needed, it’s recommended to purchase a Cloud Key controller to act as the brains for the wireless system to allow for seamless roaming and advanced configurations. A simple Ubiquiti system can be configured and monitored from a mobile device using an app available both on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Ubiquiti access points offer a sleek design that can work well in any small business environment but can also be wrapped with custom vinyls for a more aesthetically fitting appearance.

Aruba 303 Wireless Access Point

The Aruba 303 indoor wireless access point packs a punch. Aruba products are designed for small business customers that need to address network complexity and performance while also keeping costs low. The Aruba 303 access point achieves all that with a highly customizable user interface as well as options to support controller-less deployments. This WiFi 5 access point can support data transfer of over 867Mbps on the 5GHz band which is blazing fast and meets the needs of many small businesses customers who are interested in WiFi 6 access points but are put off by the cost of ownership.

This access point is feature-rich and includes dual radio 2 x 2 MIMO for simultaneous high speed wireless activity across multiple devices. The wireless access point features a built-in bluetooth low-energy (BLE) radio which enables location based services and can offer great insights into customer flow or traffic patterns within the area where the access points are deployed. Aruba hardware plays well with cellular antennas as well and uses advanced cellular coexistence (ACC) to minimize interference from cellular network or distributed antenna systems which can be found in certain buildings.

Ruckus R310 Wireless Access Point

For small businesses that want to explore Commscope Ruckus wireless access points, the R310 model is a great entry point. The access point meets all the needs of a small business WiFi network.

The AP is best suited for an office, retail, or home environment. Ruckus access points can be on the more difficult side when it comes to setup and configuration and may require some technical knowledge to set up properly.
