The Wifirst Gateway, aka the WiBox, was developed by Wifirst to guarantee the very highest quality of service possible while also maintaining flawless network security. The on-premise device is carefully configured to meet the internet and usage needs of each customer site. However, constant evolution and an assured scalable service means that our customers are always ready for a dramatic rise in internet usage. The greatest challenge for any WiFi infrastructure is, and will always be, managing network demand during peak hours. Whether a student residence, a hotel, a campsite or care home, we consistently see a peak in internet use during the evenings. During these times, WiFi networks tend to be put under a lot of stress. The key here is to ensure the network is up to the challenge from day one.
