Security, convenience, and ease of operations are among the primary requirements for enterprise IT managers as they prepare their wireless networks for guest access. Pronto’s Enterprise Visitor Access Solutions helps provide such access with the following key network features:

• Single registered-access solution for both enterprise wireless and wireline network.
• An easy access method for unregistered employees, visitors, business partners, suppliers etc.
• Control on the number of simultaneous visitors/guests that are allowed on the enterprise network.
• The internal wireless and wireline network can be logically partitioned using VLANs (or with SSIDs) to provide separate network bandwidth partitions.

Employees require additional flexibility into how they access the wireless network. They prefer access associated with their identity, instead of the devices they use. Besides the employees, IT managers have to support controlled access for business partners, suppliers, vendors, and other frequent visitors to the network. And it has to be easy for visiting executives and special guests to access the network. Sometimes, IT requirements dictate access controls that include the device, the user, and other corporate IT security standards such as virus checks, automatic VPN connectivity, etc. Above all, these networks need to be regulated in terms of per-user bandwidth allocation with traffic prioritization for employees and executives, partners and guests, etc. These capabilities are now expected to operate transparently over the new wireless as well as the existing wireline network.
