Managed
Wi-Fi
Service that allows businesses to provide stable and secure wireless internet access without the need for self-managing the network
Managed Wi-Fi is a service that allows businesses to provide stable and secure wireless internet access without the need for self-managing the network. This service is often outsourced to specialized providers who are responsible for the design, installation, monitoring, and maintenance of the network. Managed Wi-Fi is especially beneficial for companies that do not have sufficient technical capacity or resources to manage complex network solutions. The result is a reliable, secure connection that can be centrally monitored, optimized for better performance, and quickly updated as needed.
Main benefits of Managed Wi-Fi
- Reliability and availability of the services provided
- Complete Wi-Fi management, leaving the care to Vnet experts
- Configuration changes according to customer requirements
- No hardware costs

Difference between solutions
| Features | Entry (Unifi) | Enterprise (Cisco Meraki) |
|---|---|---|
| Device Management | It is possible to use an on-site local controller or a cloud-based portal for remote management. | A fully cloud-based solution enables easy deployment and centralized device management through a web interface. No local controller is required; everything is managed centrally. |
| Scalability | The solution is modular, allowing you to start with a few devices and expand as needed. | The Cisco Meraki solution allows for quick network expansion without complex configuration. New APs (Access Points) only need to be connected and will automatically configure via the cloud. |
Centralized Monitoring and Analytics | Basic network monitoring with the ability to set user restrictions. | A detailed network overview - who is connecting, what applications are being used, and where network congestion occurs. It allows setting restrictions for specific applications or users and provides rapid issue diagnosis with AI-driven recommendations in the dashboard. |
Network Security (Advanced Features) | VLAN (Virtual LAN) support allows network segmentation for guests, IoT devices, and internal users. | An integrated firewall at the AP level helps protect against attacks. DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) enables real-time network traffic analysis. VLAN support allows for the separation of corporate networks, guests, and IoT devices. |
| Integration | No integration. | Possibility to integrate with Cisco SD-WAN, Meraki switches, and Meraki firewalls. Full compatibility with Cisco Umbrella, Cisco AnyConnect VPN, and other security solutions. |
