D-Link ME highlights importance of mesh networks for SMBs growth

D-Link Corporation underlines the importance of mesh networks for SMBs in the growing digital landscape. 

Mesh Networks offer affordable and uncomplicated ways for SMBs to ensure seamless and secure connections to meet the increasing demands for workplace connectivity within their businesses. With easy network setup and management, relying on mesh networks can effortlessly eradicate dead zones across workspaces and ensure employees are productive and focused on core business. 

Unlike traditional Wi-Fi networks that use a single point of origin and optional extender networks, Mesh Networks employ a series of nodes to create a single, wide-reaching network. Legacy Wi-Fi networks usually cover a wide area through a singular router, connected to Wi-Fi extenders. This limits its use to the router as the centralized access point. While Mesh WiFi also uses a single Internet connection, it features multiple nodes that sport multiple node connectivity, to provide signal as far as necessary.

Mesh Networking eliminates the need for SMBs to run expensive wires throughout the premises. It also helps improve stability and performance by using different node paths. As it removes the use of extenders and functions like a singular network, it allows the workforce the convenience of not switching networks as they move around. This is a big win when multiple devices are being used.

When setting up a Mesh Network, security, space and simultaneous data transmission are key. D-Link’s latest DIR-X5460 Series Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Systems includes multi-pack options that are all equipped with Wi-Fi 6 and mesh technology. The systems provide faster speeds, greater capacity, and less network congestion for the modern device-dense smart offices and homes. 

The Covr systems are powered with advanced features to ensure users have the optimal networking experience. OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology communicate more data to more devices, and BSS coloring makes the network more efficient, improving the overall Wi-Fi 6 performance. D-Link Wi-Fi Mesh allows users to expand their network according to their requirements, while Smart Roaming and Smart Steering guarantee reliable and stable connection throughout the premises. The DIR-X5460 series also features the latest WPA3 encryption. They also feature 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and 1 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port for optional wired connectivity. 

Sakkeer Hussain, Director, Sales and Marketing, D-Link Middle East, commented, “The number of devices that need to be connected in today’s digital business environment is growing at an exponential rate. Mesh networking devices are the answer to SMBs seeking cost-effective solutions to improve their tech returns significantly. D-Link is at the forefront of innovation when it comes to developing cutting-edge devices to solve current and future business challenges.”
