Verizon Business Brings Workplace
Mobility Solution
Verizon Business has launched a new, managed wireless local area network (MWLAN)
service that aims to enable businesses and government entities leverage
wireless technology for competitive gains. Including Cisco Unified
Wireless Network technology, it’ll allow customers to securely extend the
reach of LANs within offices, schools, and factories, and across corporate
and college campuses. Workers will have access to networks, applications,
data, and the Internet while away from their desks, thus enhancing
productivity and information sharing.
The new
Verizon Business offering is available immediately in the United States
and in 28 countries in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, and provides
the same user experience, regardless of whether employees are located at
offices in Beijing, Boston, or Brussels, says the company.
"Companies are increasingly interested in the potential of wireless to
support office-based staff, as well as mobile, global workers," said Nancy
Gofus, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Verizon
Business. "Our enhanced managed wireless LAN portfolio enables companies
to leverage wireless technology while helping manage the day-to-day
complexities often associated with wireless LANs."
Verizon
Managed Wireless LAN Service targets enterprises seeking to replace or
augment existing wired LANs. Based on the IEEE 802.11 industry standard,
the service is highly scalable and features built-in security functions
such as centralized network and policy management, as well as intrusion
detection and prevention capabilities to help ensure only authorized end
users and devices gain access to systems, applications, and data.
Each
Verizon Business MWLAN deployment is tailored to customer coverage and
security requirements. The company also offers additional specialized
professional services to help design, implement, and secure wireless LANs.
Upon deployment, Verizon Business actively manages the network, monitors
to help prevent unauthorized access and the attachment of rogue devices,
and provides comprehensive performance reporting.
