Cisco has introduced innovations for a smart, secure and reliable wireless experience, with Wi-Fi 7 access points and unified subscription licensing that can enable smart spaces right out of the box.
The innovations – which enable organizations to solve their connectivity and security challenges – help organizations transform their workspaces and create new digital experiences in the AI-driven era.
“Almost everything we do combines human behavior with sensors, cameras or screens: physical experiences in an increasingly digital world. And Wi-Fi is at the center of everything”he states Jeetu Patel, Chief Product Officer at Cisco. “With Cisco Wi-Fi 7 access points and Cisco Spaces, we deliver the connectivity, security and data that IT and facilities management teams need to reinvent employee and customer experiences everywhere.” ”.
Simplified licensing, flexible deployments
The new Cisco Wireless Wi-Fi 7 smart access points can be managed locally or through the cloud, with the ability to seamlessly switch between the two. This flexibility is enabled through Cisco’s Unified Network Subscription: a single license that covers the entire Cisco Wi-Fi 7 solution, helping organizations confidently invest in wireless networks that can grow and evolve with their business. .
