Freedom to compute and communicate wherever and whenever you want is a huge perk, especially when you have reliable Wi-Fi connectivity.  New standards and technologies are ushering in reliable low-cost Wi-Fi connectivity. Now, wireless access points (APs) operate in dual radio bands (2.4GHz / 5GHz) and are embedded with Wi-Fi controller functionality. They support a host of networking standards, protocols and features such as: 802.11ac, 802.11ac Wave 2, 802.11k, 802.11r and 802.11v, Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology, air time fairness, beamforming, band steering, mesh networking, multiple service set

In fact, a  omni-channel communications hub with cloud-based applications will empower the user community with tools and technologies, such as Unified Communications (UC) and IoT applications, that will result in improved productivity. From a strategy perspective for a Smart Building, a communications hub that can integrate with SIP-based security cameras, door systems, video conferencing systems and services will be valuable. It is all about applications. When new applications become available, just download them and customize them for that one device based on end-user preference. A communications hub, with a touch screen display that offers voice/video collaboration and access to a broad spectrum of other applicat
