Wireless Networking

Providing Wi-Fi access to customers and guests is now a common courtesy for businesses across multiple industries. However, wireless networking involves more than just sharing your password whenever requested. When establishing your IT infrastructure, various practical, financial, and security factors need to be considered, and guest access is only one of many.

This is where working with a reliable IT consultant becomes essential. Olson Tech Services offers small business wireless setup and Wi-Fi network installation solutions for organizations in Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area. Our expertise enables you to select the optimal combination of equipment and services, resulting in a convenient guest system while minimizing your organization's risk and costs.​

Why Provide Wi-Fi Access?

Providing fast, reliable, and secure internet access to your customers is essential for several reasons. This can:

• Enhance the appeal of your space and make it more welcoming to guests

• Encourage customers to spend more time and money in your establishment

• Facilitate access to information for visitors

• Provide unique opportunities for branding and marketing

Although hotels, coffee shops, and restaurants typically offer free Wi-Fi to their customers, other businesses such as retailers and service providers can also benefit from this service. Property managers can also make their apartments and office spaces more appealing to prospective renters by offering building-wide Wi-Fi.

Things to Consider When Setting Up a Wi-Fi Network

While wireless networking has its advantages, businesses must also be mindful of the potential risks associated with it. Shared Wi-Fi networks can leave companies vulnerable to hacking and put sensitive data at risk. If there is a security breach with a dedicated customer Wi-Fi system, it can reflect negatively on the business, resulting in liability or reputational harm.

Moreover, it is essential to ensure that customers are not misusing your Wi-Fi network and that unauthorized users are not consuming your bandwidth. At Olson Tech Services, our wireless network support services can help you address these practical concerns and ensure the security and efficiency of your Wi-Fi network.
