Wi-Fi as a Service (WaaS)
What is WaaS?
Wi-Fi as a Service (WaaS) is a leased-based service that combines three key components: infrastructure, software, and managed services.
For Municipalities, Business Improvement Districts and Property owners, Wi-Fi is no longer a luxury but a requirement. For most organizations, Wi-Fi and connectivity, in general, are not their core competence. The cost of maintaining an internal IT staff to support Wi-Fi is often not justified because of the upfront CAPEX and recurring costs.
Benefits of WaaS
There are several benefits to a WaaS network:
Capex to Opex – Wi-Fi, connectivity is a utility, and your financial spreadsheet should treat it as such. With Wi-Fi as a Service, you can now put your Wi-Fi system on a monthly lease as an operating expense (OPEX), reflecting other utilities and cloud-based applications. With the constant change in the technical landscape and increasing personal cost, WaaS is a more cost-effective way to deliver Wi-Fi.
