UPDATED: Small and Medium Businesses are the driving force behind India’s GDP growth, that’s rated the highest in the world. There are millions of SMBs in India who provide employment and contribute to the nation’s growth. These SMBs are highly dependent on the Internet and connectivity infrastructure. However, the shortage of skilled manpower, the complexity of network management, and the high cost of maintaining networks pose a significant challenge. Linksys, a pioneer in wireless networking technologies, now has a solution.\u00a0 Linksys has been manufacturing access points, routers, switches, VPN & VLAN solutions since its inception in 1988. The Linksys Cloud Manager<\/a> service simplifies networking management and troubleshooting as these administrative tasks can be performed over the cloud from any location in the world, using a laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. The service is targeted at the SME and SOHO segment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SMBs and the Networking industry have been growing exponentially year over year. There is no better time than now for us to enhance our portfolio in India. Our high-performance products and Cloud Management software solutions not only help small business to be efficient but also cost-effective,\u201d said Kartik Bakshi, Country Manager, Linksys India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How Linksys Cloud Manager Helps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Linksys Cloud Manager<\/a> is a cloud-hosted Wi-Fi Management Platform purpose-built for small business environments that reduces costs and increases operational efficiencies. The solution offers centralised visibility, management and control of a wireless network without the cost and complexity of traditional hardware controllers, overlay software, or annual hosting fees.<\/p>\n

Linksys Cloud Manager enables IT administrators, and other authorised users to remotely monitor, manage, and troubleshoot single or distributed wireless networks in real-time via a single dashboard and sign-on. This plug-n-play platform helps provide secure remote access to Linksys Business Wireless-AC Access Points, built with enterprise-grade, high-performance hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe observed that one of the biggest issues with customers or ISPs (Internet Service Providers) is fixing network issues. For instance, if a customer is in Pune and the service provider is in another city, then it would not be possible to send a technician to Pune to fix the customer\u2019s Internet connection. However, using a remote management service, the ISP can have people sitting anywhere in the world, who can log in and diagnose network issues. The main thing was to offer a solution to SMBs, wherein networking problems can be resolved from anywhere,\u201d said Bakshi.<\/p>\n

Linksys is following a trend in the industry. Connectivity service providers use a remote management software called TR-069<\/a><\/strong> (Technical Report 069) for diagnosing and resolving router issues. Linksys is bringing the same concept to access points through its Cloud Manager solution.<\/p>\n
