What Does the Release of the Apple iPhone 5 Mean for Your Network Infrastructure

Aerohive’s CEO David Flynn was recently quoted in an article discussing the benefits and challenges for the enterprise regarding the release of the iPhone 5.

“The release of the iPhone 5 marks a big day not just for consumers, but for businesses as well. Analysts predict Apple will ship over 27 million units in Q3 2012 alone, but more importantly the advanced Wi-Fi included in the iPhone 5 will accelerate enterprise adoption of BYOD policies. The inclusion of 5 Ghz Wi-Fi alone will have a huge impact on the reliability of wireless communication in hospitals, schools, retail stores and just about any organization leveraging Wi-Fi for business critical applications. Enterprises will need to make sure they have the proper network infrastructure in place to take advantage of these advancements, while ensuring company data remains secure.”
