Your wireless infrastructure can help you generate revenue and reduce costs

The guest access solution of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network provides a convenient, cost-effective way to offer wired and wireless guest access while maintaining the security of your internal network. The solution makes it easy to personalize the network user experience, including wireless or wired network access, authentication, guest account provisioning, and termination.

The Cisco guest access solution:

• Securely segments employee network traffic from guest traffic
• Enforces network usage control by managing user policies such as bandwidth limits and time-of-day access
• Frees up valuable IT resources by democratizing guest user provisioning
• Enhances the guest user experience by customizing login, login failure, and logout web portals
• Reevaluates and refines policies, processes, and network infrastructure by monitoring network use through enhanced reporting and auditing tools

A guest network can serve many important business purposes, from streamlining business with partners, vendors, and consultants to providing hospitality. For instance:

• Retailers can increase revenue by providing relevant product promotions to their customers on multiple devices
• Hospitals can increase vendor collaboration and help minimize stock shortages of crucial medical supplies often created by asynchronous communications
• Hotels can generate new revenue by providing network access as a productivity enhancement tool
• Enterprises can complete external audits more efficiently by selectively allowing consultants and auditors access to company information
