Cisco vs Aruba Wireless: Picking by Management Model
Both make excellent access points. The decision that matters is how the network is managed and licensed, not which radio is faster.
Read More: Cisco vs Aruba Wireless: Picking by Management ModelOn nearly every office fit-out we join midway through, the same pattern repeats: low current systems — CCTV, access control, structured cabling, public address — get scoped after the interior design and civil work are already locked in, forcing expensive rework of walls and ceilings.
The fix is simple but requires discipline: bring your low current contractor into the design phase, not the execution phase. Camera coverage and cable pathways should be marked on the same drawings as electrical and HVAC, reviewed by the same design team.
For access control specifically, decide your door-by-door security tiers (public, staff-only, server room, executive) before ordering hardware — retrofitting a higher security tier onto a door already fitted with the wrong reader type is one of the most common budget overruns we see.
We now offer a fixed-scope low current design review for fit-out projects specifically to catch these issues before construction starts, rather than during it.
Our engineers are happy to walk through your specific requirements and recommend the right approach — no obligation, no generic sales pitch.
