At any company with a complex network structure, the flexibility and stability of Internet access is extremely important. Branch offices must have cross-site access to the company network, and home office employees also need access to e-mail accounts and databases. In addition, customers and visitors should be offered a separate guess access.
With devices from LANCOM and the LANCOM Public Spot option, these scenarios are easy to implement. The sites are connected using a VPN tunnel. Companies can provide access to the Internet for their external guests on their own mobile devices ("Bring Your Own Device") using a separate guest network in the company main office and even at networked branch offices. Access to the company's internal data is reserved for authorized employees only.
- Secure separation of company and guest networks – the secure separation of employee and guess networks within a single infrastructure is achieved by using VLAN or a Layer 3 tunnel. This keeps internal data safe from unauthorized access. For more details see the chapter Virtualization and guest access via WLAN controller with VLAN.
- User-friendly setup and configuration – a LANCOM WLAN controller allows different user profiles to be defined and configurations to be uploaded to the different WLAN devices – including those at remote sites.
- Easy guest access – using vouchers, it is a simple task for your reception desk to provide guests with login data for the Public Spot so that they can use their own mobile clients ("Bring Your Own Device"). In this way, only registered users have access to the Internet and e-mail.
- No misuse of the network – with the LANCOM Content Filter, professional, database-supported verification of websites is performed. Undesirable websites or web content can be made inaccessible to specified user groups.
