Layer 3 Communications is a regional network infrastructure engineering company that serves K-12, higher education and Fortune 500 customers in the Southeast and Texas. “Partners are certainly aggressively introducing and provisioning customers with Wi-Fi 6,” he said.
Lunetta said the new service gives partners an additional reason to move customers to Wi-Fi 6, which he said is enjoying a faster adoption rate than any other Wi-Fi standard. “Frankly, our measurements are that whatever 5G is claiming, Wi-Fi 6 is already delivering,” he said. “So there are economic benefits of being able to seamlessly manage these networks.” Here’s our most recent list of new products and services being offered by agents, VARs, MSPs and other channel partners.Īnd Lunetta said Wi-FI 6 provides security benefits through Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) and Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE), in addition to “gigabit-class performance.” Wi-Fi 6 is still a lot cheaper to implement inside the building than a full 5G network build-out,” Lunetta said. “For enterprise customers, you don’t have to worry about managing separate services - Wi-Fi and 5G. So the call’s not dropped, and all of a sudden you’re doing Wi-Fi calling based on your authentication to the network using the same credentials,” Lunetta said.Īruba is using Wi-Fi 6 as a 5G on-ramp was a cost-effective alternative to deploying indoor small cells or distributed antenna systems (DAS). “With Air Pass, that’s all done seamlessly behind behind the curtain, if you will. The goal of Air Pass is to ensure that their device automatically authenticates to the Wi-Fi network and doesn’t drop the the call when they enter the building. Imagine an employee starting a phone call in their car and then entering their work office. “They need to do this because their revenue from their traditional access services is plateauing.” “The telcos are faced with the daunting task of trying to build a very capital-intensive set of new capabilities for 5G and chasing a standard that is still being certified and worked on through the 3GPP organization,” Lunetta told Channel Partners.
