With the rise of mobility, network capabilities are more important than ever. In order to manage your mobile workforce successfully, it is vital to understand how mobile technology can affect network connections.
SURVEY:
In the past, businesses had an occasional guest who needed to connect a mobile device to the network. Now, most employees connect multiple devices to the business network. With music, movies, video calls and other downloadable media available at employees' fingertips, they sometimes access large media files via the business network -- even against the wishes of IT managers. This combination of multiple devices and large file downloads can strain your bandwidth and connection speeds.
Instead of trying to fight the tide, some companies simply allow any device on the network. Unfortunately, this can strain connectivity and invite internal threats or even hackers. To maintain strong connection speeds and a secure network, it is critical to restrict connectivity and monitor your network.
