As knowledge workers continue to work remotely, work from home has rapidly escalated from one of many remote work options to “the remote work option”. For Network Administrators, this means enabling employees with the basics – laptops and corporate network connectivity, and optimizing application delivery despite unpredictable network performance due to bandwidth contention and latency. This can also result in increased tech support calls from the end-user complaining about the VPN connectivity and poor network performance.
Cisco’s OfficeExtend Access Point (OEAP) allows a Network Administrator to extend the secure, scalable, and manageable corporate WLAN across the internet to the Teleworker’s (employee’s) home.
