Future-Proofing Your WiNG Network with Toranet

Staying with WiNG: A Viable Option

If you are wondering whether you should continue using WiNG, the answer is simple: yes, you can.

Nothing will stop working on a specific date. WiNG will continue to function for as long as necessary, giving you time to plan, budget, and assess your options.

The recent End-of-Sale announcement is just the first stage, not an immediate deadline. Toranet is here to help you navigate this transition smoothly, just as we have done for many other customers.

Why Migrate to XIQ Instead of Another Brand?

Some businesses may consider switching to a completely different wireless infrastructure provider, but this approach comes with significant risks:

• Complete hardware replacement in a single event
• Major downtime leading to productivity loss
• Higher risks related to coverage, connectivity, client behavior, and roaming

A Smarter Approach: Migrating to XIQ

Instead of a big-bang replacement, moving to ExtremeCloud IQ (XIQ) can be done in stages.

• Test coverage, connectivity, and reliability before full migration
• Reduce financial impact by spreading costs over time
• Minimise operational risks with a step-by-step approach

With XIQ, you can modernise your wireless infrastructure without the disruptions and financial strain of an all-at-once migration.

What About Wi-Fi 6 / 6E (or Later)?

If you're concerned about Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E compatibility, rest assured:

• Wi-Fi 6/6E access points are fully supported under WiNG
• They will remain operational for as long as needed
• These APs are also fully compatible with XIQ, ensuring a seamless transition

This means no need to replace your hardware after migrating to XIQ.
