Enterprise Network Infrastructure
Core switching, routing and service delivery — the ground the wireless layer stands on.
A wireless network is never on its own. Behind every access point sits a wired fabric, and if that is undersized the best radio hardware in the room will not save it. This category is that fabric: core and distribution switching, routing, and the hardware that delivers services reliably and securely.
What to weigh up
- Core capacity relative to aggregate access-layer traffic.
- Path redundancy, and how the network behaves when a link drops.
- Traffic separation and security policy between segments.
