Introduction
In an increasingly connected world, managing diverse devices and networks has become a challenge for businesses. Wi-Fi, Ethernet, private 5G (P5G)—each plays a critical role in operations, but fragmented control and inconsistent security policies can lead to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. FlexNet’s Universal Connectivity bridges this gap, providing a single platform to manage and secure all your connected devices and networks, regardless of their type.
With comprehensive insights, unified policy enforcement, and high availability (HA) configurations, Universal Connectivity ensures you’re always in control.
The Challenge: Fragmented Networks
Many businesses operate in environments where devices connect through multiple technologies like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and private 5G. This creates several challenges:
- Inconsistent Policies: Security policies often differ between networks, creating vulnerabilities.
- Limited Visibility: IT teams struggle to gain a unified view of all devices and their behaviors.
- Downtime Risks: Critical operations are jeopardized by network interruptions or misconfigurations.
FlexNet’s Universal Connectivity solves these challenges by bringing all networks and devices under one roof.
