Networking Solutions for Small/Medium Businesses

Small businesses and remote offices are

important hubs of productivity—made up

of people that rely on the right equipment

to get work done smoothly, reliably, and

efficiently. The Linksys Business portfolio

offers a range of reliable switches, routers,

and wireless access points designed to

meet the connectivity and security needs

of any small to medium organization.

SOLUTION BRIEF

The Trends

Businesses of all sizes are increasing their reliance on

everything wireless, from accessing the Internet to streaming

data from the cloud. As these businesses build more robust

networks to support their organization’s growing bandwidth

needs, they require simplified management tools to deploy,

administer, and maintain networking hardware.

The Challenges

Often overlooked by technology solutions targeted at

enterprise corporations, small/medium businesses require

tools that work with each company’s size and budget. Most

network solutions are priced for, designed for, and support

companies larger than 100 employees, leading to technology

and devices that are expensive, difficult to manage, and

made with excessive features for the SMB community.

Furthermore, tailoring these devices for small business

needs can lead to even higher installation and support costs.

The Needs

Small to medium businesses need to be able to manage

scalable networking equipment that is easy to deploy and

fits seamlessly into their growing environment. Businesses

need to provide secure access to remote employees and

ensure guests and customers can get connected without

jeopardizing the integrity of data stored on the company’s

network. Space and power availability can also be a concern.

Networking equipment that is discrete and powered over

the network provides flexibility for network planning.

Outside of product needs, small to medium businesses want

the support systems necessary to run, maintain, and advance

their network infrastructure. SMB customers need quality,

scalable, and affordable solutions designed specifically for

the SMB community, along with support that will accommodate

their growing business needs. Linksys provides these companies

with the solutions they need to operate, manage, and grow

their business.
