Wi-Fi Guest & BYOD On-Boarding

Wi-Fi Guest access and Bring Your Own Device

Wi-Fi is great for so many things for your organisation, however there are times that others may need or want wi-fi access via your network. You need that to be secure, accountable, reliable and easy to use without impacting any of your normal users.

KHIPU have been deploying guest solutions and BYOD solutions since 2004 and have years of experience to ensure you have the right solution to your requirements.

Your first real Wi-Fi Application

Guest access is often the first application implemented by organisations deploying a WLAN, with this access providing visible interaction with partners and visitors and instilling a positive impression about the organisation. A good guest access system will, first and foremost, provide reliable and high-performance access to the Internet without requiring the guest to negotiate countless hurdles reconfiguring their PC in order to connect.

A guest access network must separate and segregate internal and guest traffic to provide iron-clad security for the organisation’s LAN and servers. Since guest access is provisioned on the same WLAN and LAN infrastructure carrying internal traffic, this is a significant challenge, and one that KHIPU can offer the best solutions for.

Bring your own Device

KHIPU has been delivering and supporting “bring your own device” (BYOD) strategy and solutions since 2005.

It isn’t a new requirement, but it is one that needs consideration.

  • 64% of employees already use their own mobile phones to access work email accounts whether or not the organisation allows it. (source employers report 2016)
  • Employers believe that employees use personal devices for work, outside of working hours for ~6 hours per week. (source employers report 2016)
  • Employees are happier to use their own devices than one provided by the organisation.

Security risks are obviously different organisation to organisation, although the main aspects are critical to every organisation:-

  • What is connected to your network?
  • Who is connected to your network?
  • What access do they have?
  • Where are they connected?
  • Do you have visibility of what they are doing?
  • Can you control or revoke access?

KHIPU has years of experience of meeting many different requirements from small to very large enterprise organisations. We can help you design and deploy and BYOD strategy, ensuring the security and integrity of your organisation whilst allowing the flexibility and ease of use for your employees.
