Density is critical in classrooms with students accessing course materials and digital textbooks on multiple devices. Schools and universities are seeing huge upticks in demand as students return to physical campuses. Without a proper capacity plan, technology issues can get in the way of learning and classes can fall behind schedule.

With so many employees using cloud-based apps, productivity and billable hours are heavily reliant on a business’s Wi-Fi functioning properly. It only takes one outage impacting executive conference calls to rack up thousands of dollars of lost productivity in salaries alone.

Wi-Fi enables everything from mobile medical devices that help sustain and report on patient health, to staff communications, alert and alarm systems, and to guest networks deployed to improve quality-of-life for those receiving care. It’s not hyperbole that Wi-Fi is life-critical in healthcare.

Hotels rely on return visits and brand loyalty from their customers. Even a single experience with a bad Wi-Fi network can tarnish your reputation for that customer and a bad review can have an exponential impact on future business.

The impact of bad Wi-Fi can hit every stage of the supply chain. Production lines can go down if safety checks aren’t registered online and warehouses grind to a halt if inventory systems cant be accessed.

If your business uses an iPad or other wireless device at checkout, an outage can make it impossible to collect payment. And for every minute you and your customer waits to reestablish a connection, customer satisfaction and loyalty drop.
