Create Your Own WiFi Hotspot in London
Whether you are a financial business looking for a secure WiFi for your staff of temporary visitors, or a restaurant chain looking to provide Internet access for your guests HTL can provide a wide range of solutions.
Wireless Security
Securing your access points is imperative. It might be a simple one off password, or something that integrates with your Servers or Two Factor Authentication System. Technologies vary from the older WEP standard to the more modern WPA-PSK or PSK2 which can be integrated with your in house Windows Servers. If you want to provide your staff access to your core network, whilst allowing guests to access the Internet, WiFi needs to be configured in a secure way.
WiFi Range
Across campus, or as we have implemented in Canary Wharf, from building to building or from Skyscraper to Skyscraper, we can extend the range of conventional WiFi networks.
Performance
If WiFi is mission critical or you have a lot of staff using it, then performance will be critical. Ensuring you have the right equipment for the job, configured in the right way is crucial.
