Thinking Beyond Wi-Fi to Empower a Mobile Workforce | Research

For years, organizations' wireless strategies have been centered around when to upgrade to the latest version of Wi-Fi. But new technologies and use cases are forcing networking directors to think bigger about wireless networking in order to meet the needs of a dynamic and mobile workforce. Join WWT Mobility and IoT Practice Manager Bob Hrbek as he discusses these changes — from the role of private LTE in the enterprise to the wireless network becoming a launchpad for business innovation. Bob also talks about how advances in access points, controllers and more are lowering the barrier of entry to deploy different options for connectivity and why now is the right time to plan for the future.

Networking Priorities for 2023

A roadmap for delivering organization-wide connectivity.
WWT Research
• Dec 13, 2022

Empower users everywhere

With some employees returning to the office, others remaining at home and still others opting for hybrid work, networking leaders must figure out new ways of empowering employees. Secure access service edge (SASE) and software-defined networking (SD-WAN) allow network administrators to apply consistent policies that deliver performance and security to users, regardless of their location.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

An architecture that delivers performance and security.

Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN)

SD-WAN is a critical part of organizations' journey to the cloud. Specifically, it is the foundation of a WAN services edge, the networking side of secure access service edge (SASE).

Capitalize on the latest waves in Wi-Fi

Many on-site employees no longer have permanent workstations, increasingly move around the office throughout the day and rely on bandwidth-intensive applications to connect with remote peers. The dense capacity architectures of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E provide superior experiences for today's on-site employees.

Wi-Fi Networking

Fuel a new way to work with a fresh approach to Wi-Fi.

Campus & LAN Switching

Evolve the campus network.

Achieve global connectivity

The number of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications needed to support large enterprises has risen dramatically during the past few years. While these applications quickly enable new business capabilities, they also introduce network complexity. A global connectivity fabric cleanly connects services and applications, enhancing performance and security across an organization's global footprint.

Cloud Networking

Cloud networks are paving the way for connectivity across multiple cloud environments.

Data Center Networking

Data center networking provides the connectivity between servers and data for applications critical to the business.

Supercharge mission critical services

As data is being consumed faster than ever, robust optical networks provide the ideal foundation for mission-critical services. But it's no longer just about throughput. Organizations also need routing capabilities to support new digital experiences. Advances in optical networking give teams the best of both worlds.

Optical Networking

Increase bandwidth with a more efficient, flexible, reliable and scalable network.

MPLS and Segment Routing

Benefit from the highly-reliable connections and improved bandwidth capacity of simpler, more robust networks.

Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) Briefing

Optical Data Center Interconnect (DCI) is a widely deployed architecture that provides high density, layer 1 connectivity between two physically disperse locations. Traditionally, most enterprise network operators lease these services from various service providers, paying a monthly recurring fee based on size and quantity of circuits. Though leased circuits have their benefits, deploying your own DCI network has become a very popular option amongst network operators of all sizes. Cost savings, flexibility of bandwidth growth, security and operational control are some of the reasons driving operators to deploy their own DCI system.
