InHand provides edge router, central router, switch, APs and management cloud to build a one-stop network solution for business internet. Just with InHand, you can build stable branch networks and reliable SD-WAN connections between branches.
Background
A fashion products retail brand has introduced flagship stores to strengthen its brand IP. To enhance the consumer experience and ensure efficient store operations, the headquarters plans to implement a unified network solution.

Customer Requirements
High availability store network

The stores are scattered across the country, and customers expect centralized network management and monitoring. Network issues should be remotely diagnosed and resolved to reduce the need for travel and on-site troubleshooting.
SD-WAN for easy expansion
The customer plans to scale their branches globally and will need stable connectivity between branches.
