The solution was developed by Vodafone Business by integrating in a unique and innovative way the hardware component of Cisco, a world leader in the networking and IT sector, and the software component of Alleantia, a young and dynamic Italian SME. The solution, scalable and easy to use, helps companies to make the most of the potential of technology without having to manage its complexity.
