Wi-Fi as a Service (WaaS) is a model where a provider manages and delivers wireless network infrastructure, including hardware, software, maintenance, and support, to businesses or organizations. Instead of buying and maintaining their own Wi-Fi equipment, customers pay a recurring fee for fully managed, partially managed, or subscription-based, scalable, and secure wireless connectivity. WaaS typically involves network setup, monitoring, upgrades, and troubleshooting, often utilizing cloud-based management for flexibility and ease of use. This enables organizations to concentrate on their core operations while outsourcing Wi-Fi management to specialists.
