"When evaluating new network access solutions, we came across PacketFence. Once we found out that you can get a support contract and consulting directly from PacketFence we were sold. Not only was the solution PacketFence brought to the table a fit for all our needs, we were able to use their consulting to get up and running very quickly and with little effort on our part. We now have a solution that saves us money each year and has secured both our WIFI and physical network."
