Your Entire Wireless Network. One Dashboard. Anywhere.
Cloud‑managed Wi‑Fi gives you real‑time visibility, remote troubleshooting, and zero‑touch provisioning — without an on‑site controller.
What is Cloud Management?
Cloud management replaces the traditional on‑premise wireless controller with a hosted platform — accessible from any browser, on any device, from anywhere. New APs are provisioned automatically. Alerts come to you before users complain.
Centralised view of all sites, APs, and clients
“Without centralised management, your Wi‑Fi network is a black box. You find out about problems when users call. You have no visibility into which AP is struggling, which client is consuming bandwidth, or which device is unauthorised on your network.”
What You Get
Complete visibility and control from one interface.

On‑Premise vs Cloud Management
| Feature | On‑Premise Controller | Cloud Management |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware required | Yes | No |
| Remote access | VPN needed | Native |
| Multi‑site mgmt | Complex | Built‑in |
| Provisioning | Manual | Zero‑touch |
| Upfront cost | Higher | Lower |
| Ongoing cost | Maintenance | Subscription |
| Failure point | Controller | Distributed |
For most new deployments, Layerix recommends cloud management — lower upfront cost, easier multi‑site scaling, and no single point of failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does cloud management mean my data goes outside India?
Data routing depends on the platform. Most enterprise platforms (Meraki, Omada) offer regional data centres. We advise you on data residency requirements during scoping.
What happens if the internet goes down — do the APs stop working?
No. The APs continue to serve Wi‑Fi clients locally even if the internet or cloud connection is lost. Management access requires connectivity, but client traffic does not.
Can we migrate from an on‑premise controller to cloud management?
Yes — if your APs support the target cloud platform. We assess your existing hardware and plan the migration with zero downtime.
Is cloud management a subscription cost?
Most enterprise platforms (Meraki, Aruba) require a per‑AP licence. TP‑Link Omada and Ubiquiti UniFi offer controller‑based options with no per‑AP recurring fees. We recommend the right model for your budget during scoping.
Can we manage it ourselves after Layerix sets it up?
Absolutely. We set up the dashboard, train your team, and document everything. You take full ownership. We remain available for support under AMC if needed.
What's the difference between a cloud controller and a cloud management platform?
They are often used interchangeably. A cloud controller is the platform itself; cloud management refers to the ability to manage the network through that platform. All major vendors offer both.
Can cloud management handle multiple tenants or segregated networks?
Yes. Platforms like Meraki and Omada support multi‑tenant architectures, allowing you to create separate networks for different departments or clients under a single account.
How secure is cloud management?
Enterprise platforms use encrypted communication (TLS), role‑based access control, and multi‑factor authentication. They comply with ISO 27001, SOC2, and other security standards.
Can I trial a cloud management platform before committing?
Yes — most vendors offer trial licenses. We can set up a trial for you to evaluate the dashboard and features before purchasing.
What happens if the cloud vendor goes out of business?
We select established vendors with long‑term viability. In the unlikely event of a shutdown, many platforms offer migration paths or allow APs to be converted to local management.
Does cloud management support guest Wi‑Fi portals?
Yes — built‑in guest portal capabilities with custom branding, social login, voucher systems, and integration with external authentication services.
How many APs can one cloud dashboard manage?
Scalability varies by platform. Most can handle thousands of APs across hundreds of sites. We size the licensing accordingly.
