Astound Business Solutions, an award-winning nationwide provider of high-capacity and secure connectivity for business customers, today announced the launch of Wi-Fi Pro for Small Business, powered by eero, an Amazon company. Wi-Fi Pro provides fast, reliable, and secure wifi networking for businesses with up to 50 employees, as well as their customers. The new offering is an upgrade from Astound’s Whole Business Wi-Fi, also powered by eero.

Wi-Fi Pro uses eero’s mesh wifi hardware with patented TrueMesh networking technology while offering custom eero for Business features. These include:

Businesses can customize the network with personalized splash pages and branding options specific to their business. With included access controls, businesses can define connection times and bandwidth limits, and set user session restrictions.
  • Multiple SSIDs: With multiple SSIDs, businesses can help keep employee and business critical devices secured by segmenting them from other connected devices on the network. Businesses can add up to 4 SSIDs. Multiple SSIDs allow businesses to support users at different access levels, define bandwidth limits and session restrictions, and more.
  • Scalable wifi from a single access point: eero’s TrueMesh network provides up to 2,500 square feet of coverage per device, in covering a business’s space.

In addition to eero’s support and advanced security features, Astound manages all licensing, network management, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

“Wi-Fi Pro is an ideal offering for small businesses, providing eero software and hardware to run their business securely while also providing access for their customers,” said Patrick Knorr, Chief Commercial Officer, Astound Business Solutions. “By teaming up with eero, we can deploy mesh wifi to deliver Wi-Fi Pro’s powerful, flexible gateway as the natural evolution of our wireless offerings.”

Astound’s previously launched Custom Wi-Fi covers larger enterprise deployments, and its Business Wi-Fi offering serves medium enterprises. For small businesses, Wi-Fi Pro can be deployed with a single access point, bringing a company to the ground level of wireless coverage. It is ideal for businesses with gigabit+ plans with up to 100 connected devices or use throughput-intensive and latency-sensitive applications such as multiple high resolution video conferencing calls.
