The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) model became a cornerstone in the industry with the first wave of smartphones infiltrating the workforce. Since then, it has remained a prominent trend in enterprise connectivity. While BYOD allows individuals to leverage familiar devices, its implementation in corporate environments poses challenges in ensuring a smooth user experience.

Employees, business travelers, and students accessing a BYOD network anticipate a connection that is both seamless and secure. The success of network integration directly impacts various aspects of a business, including security, productivity, satisfaction, and employee retention. To achieve success in BYOD adoption, a dependable and flexible structure is essential to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.
