How To: Create a Full Grandstream Networking Solution for Any Size Business

Every day we are bombarded with different technological products and are told that our business “needs them.”  We give in and purchase the latest and greatest solution, but then we realize we have a bunch of pieces that do not make up a comprehensive solution.  This does not need to be the case when it comes to networking.  Since 2002, Grandstream Networks has been manufacturing innovative & award-winning IP phone & video telephony, video conferencing and surveillance solutions.  Recently, Grandstream introduced a power line of networking products, including a Gigabit Router (GWN7000) and Access Points (GWN7600 & 7610).  Grandstream networking allows users to build powerful wired, wireless, and VPN networks that are easy to setup and just as easy to manage.

Grandstream Networking Solution for Small Offices:

Have a small office, home office or an individual commercial location?  The GWN series is ideal for you.  First, you will start with one GWN7000 Gigabit Router as the central controller for the entire network.  The GWN7000 can then be connected to up to 300 Access Points.  Your Access Points will all be running on one network, which will ensure seamless movement without changing networks or needing to create separate SSIDs for different areas or departments.  Grandstream’s Access Points can also be paired with any 3rd party router, as well as future Grandstream router offerings.  Because of this, Grandstream’s APs are ideal for both new and existing WiFi deployments.
Create an entire IP communications network with Grandstream’s thorough range of IP phones, as well as door phones, surveillance cameras, and video conferencing solutions.  You can connect the phones, surveillance, and video conference solutions through your UCM as a central management point for the network of devices.

Grandstream Networking Solution for Large Offices & Multiple Floors:

There will be no hassle for large offices and multiple floor office buildings anymore.  Start by setting up the main router, the GWN7000.  Afterward, pair the GWN7600/7610 AP and then customize your network and login credentials for each AP.  You can also customize groups of APs and make each network available only in the areas you want.  You can connect up to 300+ AP’s.  The router will centrally manage all of the access points.
Again, you can round out the entire solution by utilizing Grandstream’s other communication products.  Their basic, mid-range, and high-end phones can all run on this system.  Need facility access control for each building, floor, or restricted area?  That is possible as a result of adding Grandstream’s IP door phone to your communications network.

Grandstream Networking Solution for Branch Offices:

Do you have multiple office locations?  Each set of GWN7600/7610s, located in different physical locations, will have a unique subnet.  By utilizing the GWN7000 router, which supports VPN networks, you can bridge the APs together through a VPN.  You are able to quickly and easily share networks and resources between multiple offices through the VPN connection.
By connecting your Grandstream IP Door Phone, which will be connected to this network, you can easily monitor your facilities’ access control.  Monitor buildings from a central location or multiple locations.  Like all of these deployment scenarios, you can utilize Grandstream’s other innovative solutions.

Grandstream Networking Solution for High Occupancy Buildings:

Are you looking for a networking solution for a hotel, dorm, conference center, or other high traffic building?  Again, Grandstream networking products are your answer.  You will then use the GWN7000 router and hook it up to 300+ APs.  After you have the networking system set up, you can easily create dedicated credentials for guests, staff, or meeting room areas.  You can also design a landing page for guest access.
