Is your outdoor coverage good enough?

Customers expect fast, reliable and secure WiFi connections everywhere these days – ask anyone who runs a bar, a café, a shop, guest house or a hotel. And for many, it’s necessary to provide WiFi outdoors as well as indoors.

You may already have outdoor access points, but are they good enough to meet the expectations of today’s customers? It’s well worth asking the question, because if your outdoor access points have been there for two years or more, they are probably using WiFi 5 or an even earlier version of the technology.

If that’s the case, they won’t be capable of matching the WiFi 6 and WiFi 7 speeds that most laptops, tablets and smartphones now support and users who connect to the outdoor WiFi will notice the difference between your WiFi and the experience they have elsewhere.

The improvement that you get by using the newest technologies is huge; while WiFi 5 might give you up to 3.5Gbps, WiFi 6 can give you up to 9.6Gbps and WiFi 7 an amazing 46Gbps throughput. OK, you won’t get anywhere near these theoretical maximums, but the speed improvement will definitely be noticed.

Our latest outdoor access points provide you with affordable options for the latest WiFi technologies and should be easy enough to swap put for your current devices. Our partners will be happy to take you through the options. If you don’t yet provide outdoor coverage, but want to do that, they’ll be even more delighted to help you plan and install devices and connections that will ensure your customers always get the best WiFi experience when they visit your premises.
