Wi-Fi technology is rapidly evolving to meet the ever-growing demand of an organization's wireless requirements. Offices, hotels, commercial environments, and industrial locations increasingly require a wireless network that can be deeply integrated into their operations. The Wi-Fi 7 standard (IEEE 802.11be) is packed with features that improve the total bandwidth a single access point can provide and make the standard a better choice for highly congested client deployments. Grandstream's new generation of Wi-Fi 7 access points is gradually being added to the GWN portfolio. Learn what they offer by reading this blog post.

When a customer complains that “the phones keep cutting out” or that “the video meetings are glitchy,” you know the pain of trying to track down the cause. Is it the internet provider? The PBX? The router? Maybe a burst of packet loss somewhere between branch offices? By the time you find the culprit, the customer’s already frustrated.
That’s why forward-thinking telecom pros are turning to a smarter, more proactive way to catch problems before users ever notice them. It’s called synthetic monitoring, and instead of waiting for real users to experience issues, it creates artificial “test calls” and “test meetings” that continuously check system performance from different points on the network. Think of it as a team of virtual users constantly making sure that every part of your VoIP and UC infrastructure is healthy and ready for the real thing.
In this article, we explain how synthetic monitoring works, how it differs from traditional passive monitoring, and why it's becoming an essential part of reliable VoIP and UC deployments. Understanding this approach can help you reduce downtime, speed up troubleshooting, and deliver a better experience all around.

Hybrid and remote work have redefined the modern workplace. Teams now connect from headquarters, branch offices, home networks, coffee shops, and even while traveling — often switching between Wi-Fi, broadband, 5G, or satellite links in the process. With so many moving parts, keeping voice and video calls consistently clear can feel like an uphill battle. Dropped audio, frozen video, and lagging meetings are not only annoying, but they can be costly in terms of eroded productivity and hampered user experience.
